I can’t believe there are people who’d rather get a D than declare pass/fail as the passing grade would be raised to a C. Okay granted that it’s the more rational choice given that it’s their final sem but the point is why just settle for a D? If they don’t have the movitation to study or know they can’t make it, then they shouldn’t have gone to university in the first place.

But usually it’s not that they can’t make it, it’s more that they don’t bother. Skipping lectures and labs and just being satisifed with a CAP of 2.x, it’s just a big mockery of the school. Like would you trust a pilot who scored Ds and Cs in his training to fly you? Or a doctor who only knows half the material to treat you.

Admittedly not everyone is gifted but the effort should be made, which I don’t think most are doing. Seriously NUS should just save those peoeple their time and sell them the degrees.

Top 18th university in the world? Bah. What a joke.
