Employers thinking a UofM degree is a joke.

Hiring practices expanding to include multiple take-home exercises to prove competency.

Students not fully learning foundational knowledge they’ll need later because the class is an easy pass.

Quite a bit.

As a student: Grades are one of the clearest signals on whether you're a good fit for a major or topic you're interested in, you need more work, or you need to trim down the number of classes.

Not providing that clear, cumulative signal is a major disservice to the students.

Also, UofM is expensive so dragging it benefits only the financials for the school.

Won't they need a reprieve next semester since they'll have to go through the same thing?
