A committee member who asked not to be identified, said yesterday. "If you go to pass-fail grading for the full year, you would increase pressure because people do not know how they're doing."
In calling for pass-fail grading, the report states that letter grades are not necessary as "motivators," or as standards of achievement in the first semester.
A student on the Student Advisory Committee to the Michelman Committee who asked not to be identified said yesterday. "Pass-fail grading has been done successfully at Yale law school and it probably enhances the educational process."
The committee rejected narrowly a proposal that would make grading for the whole first year pass-fail, the report says, despite student support for that option.
In addition to its suggestions on grading, the report recommends that first year law grades be given to the Harvard Law Review only "at the affirmative request of the student concerned."
