Okay,
I was thinking and was wondering something. How often do you think people graduate with degrees in our field with low GPAs? Do you think it happens often? At all? I am wondering because I am curious if unis make sure their cust...err...students are happy. |

To be fair, grade inflation is true of most graduate (MA and PhD) programs.
Anecdotally, virtually everyone I've known with an MA seems to have at least a 3.6. |

| I would like to know if there is a difference in grades between those who completed their grad degree online vs on campus. |

Sounds like we are back to discussing our student evals.
The poll results should lockdown another theory: there are no losers on the internet. |

No, not at all. I was just thinking about the plethora of recent posts regarding people interested in furthering their education, and the number of people I know doing their MA in TESOL.
It's interesting, really. I see how important it is for some institutions to make sure the "customers" are happy. So, I wondered if they really do take that idea too far. |

Can you explain the Grade system you are using?
In the UK, 1 is a high distinction, and 4 is a pass. 5 is fail. In Australia 7 is a high distiction, 4 is a pass, and 3 is a conceded pass and 2 or less is a fail.
What system are you using and what constitutes a pass or a high distinction? |
