. y a handful of small colleges has implemented evaluation
systems which minimize or eliminate grades. A survey of 54 uni
versities and hheral arts colleges in 1SHH revealed that 43 use the
c iriventional letter grades, five use numerical grades, three use
special letter grades (such as H, S and U), two issue no grades
except for colli ge uki* and one issue* grades only after graduation.
Among the schools reporting a modified type of grading system
were Honda Presbyterian, Heed, Bennington and Sarah Lawrence.
In ltMW, Florida Presbyterian was reporting five grades for
freshmen, ranging from II (for honors) to U (unsatisfactory). This
would he reduced to four grades for sophomores, and by 1»67, the
school hoped to issue three grades which would be reported only
to the registrar and advisers after the student’s sophomore year.

his fee of $110, but the day was
a complete waste. All the time
spent in lines waiting to regis

Now the whole packet of cards

Bichard B. Miller found out that
he had completely registered for

"this could be you”—is posted for
Richard Lee Miller if he sees it.
Why is the draft card there? No
reason—it was Richard B's 1964

dents the kinds of services which j
are now available to assist them ;
in their occupational and educa- i
tional planning, and to encour
age the students to use the serv
ices.
The decision to establish the
program was made in response
to a survey of all University stu
dents given during fall term reg
istration. The survey indicated
that about one-quarter of the
student body, or about 3,000 stu
dents, had not decided either on
the type of work they wanted to
be doing after graduation, or
what their major should be.
About two-thirds of this group
indicated that they would be able
to use some kind of help to as
sist them in making these deci
sions.
Under the new program, stu
dents will be invited to partici
pate in advising and counseling
procedures carried on by several
different divisions of the Uni
versity.
For the first invitations the
students will be divided into four
different groups. These include:
(1) all graduate students; (2)
undergraduate students with no
major but who have reported a
tentative choice of major; (3) un
, dergraduate students who have
not reported the choice of a ten
tative major, and those not fully
satisfied with their present ma
jor; (4) all students, exclusive
of the above, who have not made
an occupational choice, and have
indicated that some form of as
sistance would be helpful.
Among undergraduates, priori
ties will be given to juniors and
seniors. Rosters of students in
each of the major categories are
being prepared by the Counsel
ing Center, and Carlson said he
hopes the program will be well
under way this term.
does not see them until after graduation. The grades are reported
to advisers when the student needs counseling.
Bennington and Sarah Lawrence have eliminated grades to em
phasize growth in terms of individual ability and student interest.
Carefully written evaluations which give a thorough analysis of
the student’s progress are issued to the student at regular intervals.
However, the advantages of this system are offset by the necessity
of reporting grades to other institutions. For a student who is
transferring or applying to graduate school, both of these colleges
supply the conventional ratings.
Another experimenting school is Carleton College, Northfield,
Minn., which uses a modified grading system to encourage students
to sample courses outside their major fields of interest. Under this
system, a student may choose to be graded in the regular way or
to receive simply a “pass” or “fail.” Thus a student majoring in
the social sciences, for instance, may take a “foreign” course, such
as art or music, without fearing the effect on his overall record.
At the University of Minnesota, the General College has been
trying several types of grading systems throughout the years. The
most recent was an experiment last spring in which each student
in the general art courses received an “A” at the end of the quarter.
According to Prof. Louis T. Safer, who directed the experiment,
its purpbse was to encourage individual creativity by eliminating
a grade factor which might tend to make students overly cautious.
The experiment was conducted in both lecture and laboratory
classes, to encourage discussion, creativity, and individual re
sponses, Safer said. In these respects, he judged the experiment to
have been successful and hopes that it may be tried in other classes.
Safer admitted, however, that certain classes lend themselves
better to this type of unorthodox grading. In classes where it is
necessary to memorize a certain body of facts, this type of grading
would not be as effective.
All of these systems emphasize the process of learning rather
than striving for a letter reward. However, while overcoming the
drawbacks of conventional grading, they create new problems of
their own.
(Part three will treat the problems of unusual grading
systems and offer some suggestions.)
