Recommendations for Deliberation

My recommendation for dealing with the problem of stress among college students is to make general education classes pass or fail. This would relieve some of the stress students have to get good grades in all of their classes. Students would still have to participate and make an effort to pass the class, it would just be less demanding if it was pass/fail. Another idea is that CAPS should host group therapy sessions and bring in students majoring in psychology that want to help others. This would allow CAPS to treat more students and having the option of talking to a psychology major would make some students feel more comfortable because they are talking to another student and not an adult. I also think that during stressful times like finals week, RAs should host more events like offering free food or ice cream as a way for students to take a break from studying and reward themselves.
