Because of finals being canceled, a lot of us now have to deal with last minute changes to our grading scales. For many of us, this means midterms that we may have done poorly on now taking a disproportionate amount of our grade, with no chance to raise it with finals.

Under normal circumstances the option to change grading from letter to P/NP or vice versa is not allowed past a certain point, but these are definitely not normal circumstances and so all this petition asks is for that rule to be suspended for this quarter to reflect that.
