Doublespaced I agree. In our programs our teachers gave us grades based on our potential. I don't know how well that worked. So students who had really bad work were getting As because it was the best that they could do while others who had consistently good work would take a chance on something and maybe get a B or C if the execution was off. When the fact of the matter is those on scholarships have to maintain a certain grade to keep their free ride. The grade system totally limited you in some respects because it prevented you from trying things for the sake of playing it safe and keeping your grade in tact.
