forced to pay extra fees.

I can't afford opting for 'I' grade and waiting for college to reopen. It will be a great
burden for me.

We have the other semester courses also running by then, so managing both may be
difficult.

It may be late when the college reopens and we might not have that much grip on the
subjects so...

It's going to add more academic pressure once the institution reopens

I wil have to study concepts again

It wouldn't be fair as grading is relative

Proposal 3

Wait till we come back to campus, and then write exams, since every
student has to eventually come back to campus

short one to conduct exams for courses of 4 segments. Adjusting the schedule for
each exam will be an extremely difficult task for me atleast as I have around 12
courses. Also the internship season will be around that time, which may get affected
as well.

Seeing the current scenario and a lot happening around, i don't know when college
gonna be opening and not sure everyone will be physically and mentally in a stable
condition to cope up with exam pressure, immediately after the college reopens. Also,
it doesn't seems, college gonna reopen before august, and surely next semester will
also starts and already will be hectic.

it will be a very huge load to write all exams at once

Till then it will be too late and will be out of the touch of syllabus. We'll have extra
burden of current semester and the upcoming semester altogether.

Cannot expect in returning to college in the near future. Even after returning, with all
the social distancing norms and delaying next semester it is difficult to conduct
exams.

Proposal 4

By giving students an option of choosing PASS/FAIL grade , students have

to be graded based on the evaluation done till now, thus closing the
current semester.

It may possible that previous exam were not as good as expected

What is point in grading 2/3 rd semester as pass/fail

There are chances that some students wants to increase their sgpa by scoring better
this semester, if everyone would be graded general then hard work done by one would
be a waste

For many courses 1 or 2 assignments are given and no final exam was conducted
which will make it difficult to evaluate thus resulting in an inefficient grading.

Some courses did not have any evaluation till now, ones started in last segment for
example.

Few students like myself feel that we haven't done well in few courses till now and we
are working to do better in the final exam. It would be injustice to not give us an
opportunity to better our grades.

Please mention if you have any other alternatives regarding the grading schemes
or leave any comments regarding the existing proposals

Any suggestions regarding starting of next semester

484 responses

If the new batch of students can attend college in end of August then it is better to
start new semester since there will be some common courses. If the situation doesn't
get any better by that time online classes can be started.

Start it by September

You can go online and think of different methods of evaluation online so that the work
load will not pile up

Cancel this academic year

Wait till aug if situation doesn't improve starting online classes and sending the notes
may be a decent idea

Please start next semester only once everyone is able to come to campus. Online
semester doesn't make any sense. It's just like finishing the portion for the sake of it
and not for really imparting knowledge to the students. Online classes are also very
stressful. It is deteriorating the mental health of the students, which can be a very
serious issue given the circumstances
