Why Colleges shower their students with A’s
In “Why Colleges Shower Their Students with A’s” by Brent Staples, some of the most interesting things that I noticed in the essay was the topic of how colleges are issuing more and more A’s due to an increasing consumer demand and a stiff competition from competitors. Staples states, “Some departments shower students with A’s to fill poorly attended courses that might otherwise be canceled.” It was very interesting to see how many professors feel that they must provide their students with more A’s and B’s to satisfy not just their consumer-conscious administrators, but they must also do so to avoid getting their classes canceled
