Betting on Grades

There is an interesting article on annarbor.com today about a new site called Ultrinsic where students can bet on their grades. It's worth thinking about, if only because it brings up that age old question, "Should students be paid for academic success, or is it a reward in and of itself, for use in later life?"

  1. I'm surprised they did not mention the Grade Insurance option where you can bet against yourself and win money for receiving a poor grade. When can I start betting against other students and profit from sabotaging their work?
