Show lessons, Fail 2003 page 9 Voices "In my area, students must earn their grades. Anyone who sets out to merely "get" a grade will fall short of my requirements." Robert Breault Associate Professor, School of Music "A 4.0 in the science department and a 4.0 in the communication department are not really equal. It's hard to judge if the same amount of work has been done." Trisha Jorgensen Senior, Pre-Med 'I've met very few students who don't really care about their grades." Jerry Root Associate Professor, French "Grades are more of a stepping stone to a good career, not a reflection of my abilities" Greg Price Freshman, Business 'Grades don't matter after college, but what you learned while here does." JOHNATHAN WlCKS Senior, Computer Science "Grading is the most difficult part of teaching." Antonio Serrato-Combe Professor, School of Archetecture "I'm going to be very critical of students' work. My boss is critical of me. If I just pat everyone on the head and give them a B, they are not going to learn anything." Doug Boudreaux Adjunct Instructor, Dept. of Communication "Students should have to go above and beyond the basic requirements to get an A." Jared Wright Senior, English 'Grading should be secondary and only reflect the student's ability to go on to a higher level." Alan Smith Professor, Honors Dept. "Students shouldn't worry so much about grades, but more about learning and absorbing the material." Scott Sampson Assistant Professor, Geology & Geophysics "There are simply two reasons why a student does well and earns high grades: they enjoy the materials being taught and they are willing to spend time on it." Erin Reser Graduate Teaching Assistant, Dept. of Communication "The idea of grades is to indicate how well students understand the subject. This is particularly important if the course is a prerequisite for another course." Peter Alfed Associate Chair, Dept. of Math "[Grades] detract from the original artistic intentions of both professor and student." Taylor Arrigo Senior, Philosophy "Now I don't want you to worry, class. These tests will have no effect on your grades. They merely determine your future social status and financial success. If any."
