Chapter 7: The Relative Nature of Grades and Their Definitions

This chapter focuses on grading and upon breaking away from the traditional A,B,C, etc. We should instead focus upon constant formative assessment in order to ensure mastery of all subjects covered. If we do not focus on formative rather than summative students may lose interest or become discouraged with the constant flow of information. Students will struggle to accommodate each teacher’s grading habits, and grading will become a guessing game between teachers.
