Pass/Fail can work reasonably well with well motivated students with good
work ethics, but consider what would happen (does happen) with the greater
proportion of students under pass/fail systems. They figure out how to do
the minimum amount of work to pass. While such students aren't
going to go
out of their way to 'learn' in graded classes, you can often get
them to do
enough work to actually develop a skill or two and even learn something in
spite of themselves. Under pass/fail the only goal is to 'pass'.
