I've wondered for several years what the
point of grades is, and I haven't come up with any answers that reflect
anything good.of
But I think there's another point that's missing here: the great
scientists often have lousy academic records.
Darwin
Einstein
Galileo
Schwinger
James Watson,
Newton
It seems to me that if grades and GPA's are supposed to identify
superior students, they do a lousy job. And that they do quite a bit
damage in the process of doing that lousy job.
Am I missing something here?
