Losers!
Someone wants to make UC Extension count in GPAs. Whatever, I don't really care. But here are some interesting complaints against the idea:
“Extension is used to let the student adjust to the college courses in a smaller environment, and to make the grades that they take in extension count in their GPA is just extra pressure,” said sophomore Cameron Rahgozar, a former extension student.
Rahgozar said the merits of earning grade points for extension courses varies for each student.
“It’s a mixed tool. It just depends on case to case, from person to person,” he said. “But it is a benefit to have a semester where you can explore and get settled down and be comfortable.”
Yeah, extension students should get the same pressure-free exploratory first semester that every other student does. Oh, wait...
