Which type of grading you think would be better??? A pass or fail class or a ABCDF class. And why?

Pass or fail would be way more stressful because it's an all or nothing thing.  I'd definitely say I like ABCDF better.

pass or fail would make life easier, but i prefer the letter-grading system
why??

if it was just pass or fail, everyone would be the same. there would be no excelling or anything, just the norm.

ABCDF- Distinguishes more of the people who excel and the people who just get by.

And with that "pass" or "fail" it wouldn't really matter.  Hell, I'll just make a c then.  I'll still pass and graduate.  That person that made an a just wasted his time.

for some reason i feel like pass or fail is like nothing, like they dont put there time into looking at my work, and the grading system i would know how well i did.

Scale... because I worked way toooooooo fucking hard to be just "pass."  Someone that made a c to my a, would be on the same level.
