<p>Does Duke have pass/fail system for freshmen like MIT?</p>
<p>i don't know, but that would be nice</p>
<p>i dont think so</p>
<p>nope...unlike brown or MIT we do have grades lol</p>
<p>I wish we did</p>
<p>a grad student in one of my classes mentioned how at furman, you have the chance to take 3 classes pass fail....and designate what the lowest grade you'll take is (i.e. an A-). It encoucaged students to challenge themselves and take random classes in different disciplines...now that sounded great to me...</p>
<p>Duke uses the grading system... but there are a handful of half-credit classes (P.E. classes, voice, education...) that are pass/fail.</p>
