In our first episode, we dive into the debate surrounding the University of Michigan’s recent announcement of a Pass/Fail grading system for first‑semester students in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
We explore why the policy was introduced, how it connects to mental health and academic preparedness, and what it might mean for student retention and student success.
We discuss:
- merits and drawbacks of the policy
- personal stories from our own first‑year experiences
- institutional implications and the need for bold experimentation in higher education
