[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, so just give Credit/No Credit  or Pass/Incomplete for the 2nd Semester and call it over.  HYP will understand.[/quote]

Of course, they will. Harvard did the same thing basically: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/03/harvard-college-adopts-temporary-grading-policy-for-spring-term/

[i]Peer institutions, such as Dartmouth, [b]Stanford, Yale[/b], Columbia, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , have moved to similar grading policies for their spring terms. Factoring equity as a prime motivator, Gay said: “[F]or some students the challenges have been more severe. Some have seen parent job losses, or have had to take over child care and other household responsibilities, as health care and other essential workers in their families continue to provide critical support or have become ill themselves. Those who relied on the public library for internet access are struggling to find other ways to join their classmates online, as public buildings are ordered closed. Students in a time zone 12 hours away from us are feeling remote and closed off by time, and by closed borders.”[/i][/quote]

Yes, [b]all this happened after the schools shut down[/b] or are happening now.  Didn’t impact Q3 grades and shouldn’t mean they are not used.  Give kids a choice.[/quote]

So did a good bit of Q3.[/quote]
