I find it difficult transitioning to contract grading because it's something very different and it focuses on how u do the work instead of turning it in for credit

i think its difficult because we learned to focus on how much our work was worth through letter grading, instead of focusing on the growth we have achieved

Transitioning to contract grading is different from k-12 grading because in school your grades would be monitored by your parent and teacher and that would be stressful while contract grading is based on our efforts and it will take some time to get used to it.

if I didn't have to worry about having to have good grades and a high GPA in high school y'all...let me tell you it could've saved me hundreds in therapy bills

personally, it is not difficult for me but for those who are struggling, getting a higher education can lead to a lack of motivation when it comes to grading. Most students define themselves as the letter grade they get which increases stress upon them and more mental health problems.

It could be difficult if you're not prepared for the transition. In the sense of not knowing how to handle the coursework and allocate your time wisely.

it is difficult because in high school they always give students a letter grade and it was never about how you're improving

I think that I am to use to one system like the K-12 my whole life so, I know what the expectations are. But I am willing to try new things.

the most difficult part of transition from k-12 grading is not being used to contract grading and adjusting to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Its something new that you have to get accustomed to it if you aren't used to it, I think this system will help reduce stress and help us stay on track with our work

it's difficult because you're taught to focus on getting the grade you want and not focusing on the learning like contract grading. I had done contract grading last semester and it honestly made that class easier and one of my favorites

k-12 grading adds more pressure to want to achieve and not fail while contract grading makes it more about learning

all my life I've been told that grades are the thing that matter the most and a way of proving that you are progressing. However, I disagree completely and I feel like grading should not be just the focus. Im so traumatized from middle and high school because I was basically forced to have straight As even rn in college I have the set mind that I just have to get straight As to actually feel proud of myself.

feel like the transition might be difficult since its new but who knows

I think it's difficult to transition from K-12 grading now to contract grading because it was structured differently so those who are unfamiliar with how contract grading works might have a bit of a hard time adjusting.

To be honest, I don’t know what contract grading is. But I do know that getting good grades in k-12 classes is not easy.

The grading system is noting bbut a struggle and makes everyone stress

reflecting on K-12 grading, I was always anxious to know my grades. I now feel like I was so focused on how "good" my grades are rather than actually learning material in class. With the contract grading, I feel like I can focus on the class rather than what score or grade I'll get.

grades have always been the biggest thing to every student and sometimes it hurts student so this new system should help.

Its a hard thing to think about because we are so used to the system we grew up with that grades show who we are and what we will be in society we forget that we don't work on what truly matters. We end up wanting to please society and our peers and we end up not knowing what we want.

# data[].attributes.body
for me, it's not really difficult because I feel as long you trying and doing the work you should be good. So, I really don't have an issue with the contract grading. it can be difficult for others because they go based on that grade. if you got an A is successful and if you got an F you failed which is shouldn't a problem because little by little you will get there if you really try your best.

Contact grading gives a less stress on focusing on grades and to achieve through your progress!

because were not being graded on correct answers

the competitiveness that comes with the education system has been so engrained in us at this point and the things we are slowly starting to see as toxic and damaging is stuff that we are "used to" so it can be a little weird not having to worry about stressing over deadlines and straight A's

I was always focused on grades and they gave me structure. Contract grading focuses on learning and exploring the material

It might be difficult to switch over to contract grading because, unfortunately, we have always been graded with a percentage or a letter grade.

I think it will be a little less stressful but also weird to get used to

I feel like grading in high school was more strict while in college grading is more lenient.

being graded on progress isn't something thats very common in public k-12 schools

I believe that it is difficult to transition from the two grading types, since contract grading is made for the student to be more independent, while k-12 always has your grades monitored by either your professors or parents.

It's difficult to transition from k-12 grading to contract grading because it's a whole new system.
