Point System Changes Here Adoption of a more s tandard grade evaluation sy stem has been accepted by Palomar College this year. In preceding years each unit completed with an "A " grade received 3 grade points, a "B" receiving 2 and a "C" yielding 1 grade point. "This system," pointed out Mrs. Ruth Newman, registrar, "evaluated the • grades 'D' and 'F' on the same level with no grade point awarded ." The new system gives 4 grade points to an "A" a•nd commencing with one grade point for a "D", thus providing a fairer method of evaluation. Effects of the new probation rule (based on an index of 3.0) were brought out in a report submitted by the . Committee on Grades and Grading Standards at Purdue University. It was determi·ned that a smaller proportion of students were affected by the new rule than the old 12-hour rule. It has been . found that this rule screens out the · students w ho are general.l y poor in their work and who need follow-up counseling. . I A criticism of the new rule has been that the requirement is the same disregarding the fa ct that there are differences in the number of hours needed for graduation Another criticism of the 90hou~-of:c rule has been that it did not provide the students or the faculty advisors with any information throughout the years on how the student was progressing.
