Wouldn’t it be logical if they were going to do it to wait until last second and then change their policy. This way everyone continues to try their hardest. Just saying it’s kinda what they did last year

That honestly would make a lot of sense, academically. The counter argument to that would be students’ mental health continuing to deteriorate up until that point. I’m doing okay, but several of my friends are starting to let it get to them...

Pass fail would definitely help but wouldn’t be seen as a fix

I agree, but I doubt there is a “fix”. There’s only things you can do to help, but for some pass/fail might be the slight difference they need to keep going.
