A Model for Individualizing Grade Determination in the Classroom
Hazen, Samuel; Freed, Rusty; Dudley, Dan
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v1 Sep 2009
This study addresses the determination of course grades. Somewhat traditionally, course grades have been based on a single rubric for an entire class. Under this model, the inherent, unstated assumption is "one size fits all." Some students learn best through visual stimuli, while other students learn best through use of one or more of the other senses. Most learn best through the use of some combination of the various senses. An approach to course grade determination and calculation that allows for the uniqueness of each student to be incorporated could offer a better model for course grade determination.
