[lbo-talk] Speaking of University Bashing...

[Wojtek S]

[WS:] When I lived in CA, UCSC did not give grades, they only provided
narrative feedback.  However,  many students demanded grades, and
there was talk about abolishing this system, because it hurt their
credentialing business.  I am not sure if they still use it.
