\nPASS-FAIL GRADING AT BERKELEY:FACTS ANID OPINIONS  \nSIDNEY SUSLOW  \nrOffice of Institutional Research  \nUniversity of California,BerkeleyFebruary,1973  \nPREFACE  \nThe incentive for this study of pass-fail grading atBerkeley comes from the continuing concern of the Office of Insti-tutional Research to assist the students and the faculty in theirefforts to develop a grading system which is just.The periodicreports of grade distributions prepared by the Office of Institu-tional Research need to be supplemented on occasions with analysesof trends and with subjective evaluations.Although few among thefaculty and students will be able to read this study dispassion-ately,no one should reject the explicit need for reassessment ofthe current grading systems at Berkeley.  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nAlthough the author must take responsibility for the con-tent,several staff members were involved in the preparation ofthis study,among whom special acknowledgment should go to CharleneAnne Hayes and Bonnie Sun.Others who contributed significantly tothe material used in this study are Judith Ann Nheeler and James L.Bess.  \nThe author's appreciation is extended to the faculty andstudents who contributed time and thought for this assessment ofpass-fail grading at Berkeley.  \nCONTENTS  \nCONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ………………………………………………………………………………………1  \nINTRODUCTION
