if assessments are tied to outcomes, then grading helps students understand how well they learned/mastered the outcome. No curve #IHEgrading
We need equitable, scalable, authentic ways of measuring student learning. Competency-based education gets us part of the way, but #highered grading and assessment must continue to innovate. #ihegrading
I really hope that I'm not raising "point collector" kids. Learn for the sake of learning. Satiate an interest. Become focused on something you love. #IHEgrading
#IHEgrading I think students negotiate grades, at times, because profs aren't transparent in grading scheme. They have every right to challenge their grade if I wasn't clear about objectives.
What protections are in place for the more “rigorous” graders? #IHEgrading
I have put together a system of formative and summative assessments that I feel fairly represent both effort and learning. It also reduces the amount of grading required by the faculty member while increasing the amount of 360 degree feedback. Will share soon! #ihegrading
Radical ideas to combat grade inflation: get out of grading, crowdsource grading, focus on portfolio, self-evals, & evaluation without grades #IHEgrading
#IHEgrading
If we agree that grading is a measure of student learning, then isn't curving equivalent to "fudging" data?
There's an interesting conversation about grades and somewhat about assessment going on now. Search for #IHEgrading
#highered grade inflation tied to privilege - wealthier, white, male students more likely to have grades inflated and to negotiate for higher grades. #ihegrading
#ihegrading just say no to extra credit! If you don't do what you should do in the first place, why on earth should you have the chance to make up for what you didn't do? Why not just allow resubmits on formative assessments? Problem solved.
"When students apply for jobs and graduate opportunities, male students are rewarded for having good grades, while female students are awarded for having so-so grades & appear to be punished for having top grades." @ScottJaschik on #IHEgrading
Excited to mull over this discussion and share with colleagues #IHEgrading
At Florida State, the average GPA went down almost a full point from high school to the first year of college. #IHEgrading
#IHEgrading lots of faculty are scared of where admin’s loyalties lie due to state funding formula going towards performance-based
Despite the fact that most high schools are experiencing grade inflation, high schools with many black or Latino students didn’t experience as much inflation. #IHEgrading
From a community college perspective, we may also feel an obligation to our transfer partners to grade fairly and represent student performance accurately. #IHEgrading
Institutions can combat grade inflation by publicizing averages by department, including average courses on transcripts, setting targets for professors/departments, & reconsidering the role of student evals of faculty members #IHEgrading
The percent of A’s given at 4-year colleges has been on the incline for the last few decades while other letter grades have stayed consistent or declined #IHEgrading
