Meanings
-
(not-comparable) Describing a form of examination, etc. in which the student either passes or fails, without receiving a specific mark or grade.
Many may argue that pass-fail is the “easy way out.” However, a pass-fail weeder class may be more helpful than a traditional weeder class. Pass-fail gives students flexibility and time to learn content and material at their own pace.
