I do think too much emphasis sometimes is put on the grade rather than the learning, but with overcrowded class sizes I think some of this is a challenge to find the time.
It’s a little funny is it not that this presentation is about looking at grades differently, but teachers must score at least 75% on your quiz to get credit for the course.
