University of Georgia Allows Students to Choose Their Own Grades

BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 11: Students study legal texts in the law faculty library at Humboldt University prior to the beginning of the winter semester on October 11, 2011 in Berlin, Germany. German universities recorded a record 2.218 million matriculations in the 2010/2011 winter semester, a rise of 4.5%, and expect even more students in the coming winter semester, which starts in October. The end of compulsory military service in the Bundeswehr, the German armed forces, which went into effect earlier this year, is a major contributing factor to the rise in the numbers of students arriving at universities across the country.

Some University of Georgia students have a way to improve their grade, and no, it doesn’t involve doing extra work, retaking exams or anything like that.

The students can just go ahead and choose the grade they want. The one condition is that the grade has to cause them “stress.”



This is according to Anthony Gockowski of CampusReform.com, who revealed on Monday that online course syllabi for two fall business courses taught by UGA professor Dr. Richard Watson introduce the “stress reduction policy.”

It states that a student can simply select their own grades if they “feel unduly stressed” by the ones they earned.

Read it here..

The reasoning for the policy can be seen at the top, where it explains that: “Emotional reactions to stressful situations can have profound consequences for all involved.”

If you’re thinking there’s a caveat of some kind, there really isn’t. As it details in the policy, a student can simply send an email to Dr. Watson that includes the grade the student wishes to have. As a result, the instructor will grant that grade and “no explanation is required.”

This applies to not only a single piece of work, but also the overall grade for the course.

The two courses that have this policy are Energy Informatics and Data Management. Dr. Watson already has a structure in place to make it as stress-free as possible, making exams open book and open notes. Meanwhile, in-class presentations can only receive positive comments.
