Now that the fall term is coming to an end at the university, Dr. Thomas wrote an open letter to his students explaining why he believes a grade should not be the ultimate embodiment of what they learned in the classroom during the past few months. The post, which originally appeared on Thomas\u2019 blog, \u201cThe Becoming Radical,\u201d was reprinted in the \u201cAnswer Sheet\u201d of The Washington Post."}
