Cooper says students have little faith in the grading process as it stands now.
"Most students don't have confidence in grades, anyway," he says. Many students feel that a single exam grade is not enough of a feedback for a semester's worth of work, according to Cooper.
"Too many grades that are given rely on one exam, where there are no TFs. It's absurd to ask one professor to grade 140 exams," he says.
More Professors Please
