[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are weedouts and grade curves necessary? The curve was what I hated most about law school. Why would I volunteer my kid for that, especially when I know my kid will learn the material? Doesn’t need fake accommodations or anything to finish homework on time or get to subject matter mastery. [/quote] Weed outs are not necessary. We are avoiding those programs. (VT is not on our list) Other students will make different choices and that is fine. Our DC will only be applying to engineering programs with a high rate (90+%) of students who start in engineering graduating with an engineering degree within 5 years. We also will be looking closely at programs where the initial engineering core courses are pass/fail [/quote] Weedout classes and curves are unethical. If you accept the student and take their money, you support the student and help them thrive. If everyone gets 70% or whatever is necessary, everyone passes. No games.[/quote]
