How rigorous is the grading at UNR?

“I’m very against the  university’s grading system. Everything is based off points, not quality.”

“I can get C’s on all assignments but still get an A in the class. But I do appreciate that some teachers grade on progress.”

here 20 years ago, I couldn’t pull a C. It’s a joke now. Teachers are afraid to flunk students.”

“I feel that I get the grades that I deserved. If I don’t put the work in, I usually know what to expect.”

“Teachers don’t hold high standards. They aren’t willing to put forth the effort to require higher standards.”

“The education major isn’t that hard. Teachers just want students to pass. We are the future.”

“Homework is easy but exams are hard. Quizzes are easy because they’re open book. Discussion points also help.”

“It is entirely dependent on the class and the teacher.”
