Beyond grades: the depth of the challenge universities face

In this post, CRADLE PhD student Lincoln Then James offers his reflections on our third seminar for 2026, ‘Is it time to move beyond grades?’ After situating grades in their historical context, this presentation challenged attendees to reconsider long-held beliefs about grades and whether there is still a place for grades in today’s universities.

Is it time to move beyond grades?

In this seminar CRADLE’s Dr Juuso Nieminen will critically discuss why higher education systems continue to use grades despite plenty of evidence on how they don’t work, and whether we should now move on. Join us at Deakin Downtown or online on Wednesday 15 April at 2pm (AEDT).
