Maybe a hybrid approach. Scramble to create a final exam/project and give them the option to do pass/fail or a real grade, their choice.

And then wish for the death of saas and a day where you can deploy your own software you can control and modify as you need.

What is the strategic response then? Assuming I'm a student and my grades are gone, and I want to graduate, shouldn't I pick pass/fail?

Does a future employer look at pass/fail vs the grade? do they care? Are there even jobs that matter enough to care out there for them?

This seems like, solving the problem but without actually seeing the broader goal or trajectory education is supposed to follow.

		Most jobs I've had didn't care about a transcript in the slightest. It matters for future education and a small selection of jobs, and even them a few pass/fail courses won't cause any issues. It's not great if important, major-specific coursework is pass/fail, but usually you're not allowed to do that, so when it does come up you'll just have somebody ask what absurd situation (like this canvas thing) caused it.

Canvas is mostly FOSS
