Abstract:	Traditional grading systems use numerals in a manner equivalent to psychological measurement, and encounter many of the problems associated with psychological measurement, particularly in aggregating grades to obtain a single score. Problems are illustrated by a university's grading system for 1,039 students in a first-year psychology course. Alternatives to traditional grading, including student involvement in the process, are considered. (Author/MSE)
