Generate a specific purpose for a persuasive talk about your college's or university's grading system, then state that purpose as a central idea

What will be an ideal response?


The answer will include a statement of the specific purpose and then an expression of the purpose as a well-phrased central idea stating the actual goal the student purposes in relation to the college's or university's grading system (e.g. using the plus and minus system for letter grades or putting more courses on a pass/fail basis). A central idea on this issue might be phrased as, "The college/university should institute a plus and minus system for letter grades." Another example is, "The college/university should institute a system of pass/fail for any course taken outside of one's major."
