Grading Practices--Watching Out for Land Mines.
Nottingham, Marv
NASSP Bulletin, v72 n507 p24-28 Apr 1988
The A to F grading pattern is a highly subjective practice that demands great expertise and assumes a high degree of test validity. This article discusses the merits of extra credit assignments, homework, and "pop" quizzes; outlines defensible grading procedures; and discusses common grading problems, such as using grades as weapons.
