Clip 032.3 -- Benjamin Caldarelli -- Under Pressure: Grades, Admissions, & Learning

In this clip from ClassCast Podcast Ep.032, co-founder of Princeton College Consulting Benjamin Caldarelli and host Ryan Tibbens discuss the pressures that students face, pressures from grades and college admissions, and how those feelings can inhibit learning and derail education. Both speakers agree that many people's grades-above-all mentality is counterproductive -- it does not increase learning, personal development, nor chances college acceptance. Listen to this clip and learn more about how grading could change in ways that would ultimately improve students' learning, intrinsic motivation, and purpose.
