The Facebook petition group to end plus-minus grading probably won’t be getting their wish.

The overall University GPA with the plus-minus system, in Fall 2006, was only slightly lower than in Fall 2005.

The number of grades lowered by minuses were almost 6,000 more than the number of grades which were raised by pluses. Almost 62 percent of grades remained unchanged by the system since 2006.

Jere Morehead, interim vice president for instruction, said he’s only received “positive feedback” from professors.

“The plus-minus system has allowed faculty to give grades that more accurately reflect what’s going on in the classroom,” he said.

But a large group of students aren’t happy about the new grading system – on Facebook, five groups have formed against plus-minus.

As of press time, there were no groups praising the change.

Hadas Peles, a sophomore from Bothell, Wash., said she is “ambivalent” about the plus-minus system.

“Does it make you work harder?” she asked. “I don’t see a difference on campus, honestly.”

“(University President) Michael Adams said this would motivate students and change the culture. I don’t think it’s done that.”

Plus-minus grading doesn’t affect a student’s GPA for HOPE scholarship eligibility.
