Well, while most have the pass/fail system, they go a bit further. I didn't elaborate before, but some have fail/pass/high pass, or honors. I would disagree with the statement that it promotes mediocrity. The rationale is that it reduces competition among students fighting for extra minute percentage points, or trying to score higher than their neighbor. It promotes learning for the sake of learning.
