The Un-Grade

The blog entry "Not Grading is Awful" was an interesting read. The teacher was talking about her class and how much more work it was to not use traditional grades. She was talking about having to struggle to assign grades to students who were in a constant revision of their work in order to improve upon it. That doesn't fit well into a world where every single thing the students do has to be documented and evaluated and then input into a gradebook. I think it's very brave of her to launch off onto this quest to try something new, different, and probably difficult.

  1. This is an intersting article! It seems my school is moving in this direction, and I have to admit it scares me a bit. How DO you assign a final grade when everything is allowed to be revised and improved?
