1. Grading Papers in the Humanities
- ctl.stanford.edu
- Tips for Grading in the Humanities.
- Before Grading.
- Announce grading policies before hand, and be sympathetic but firm. ... As often as possible, try to get these grading guidelines in writing, for each assignment if necessary.
- Grading a short essay or paper will require very different skills and comments. ...
- For exams: be aware that some professors don't provide answer keys beforehand, so be sure to have one even if you and/or the other TAs have to make it yourselves! And for papers be sure to have a conversation with the professor and/or the other TAs about reasonable expectations for the kinds of arguments and use of evidence that you will be grading.
- Read a few assignments before you begin grading just to get a sense of the range and the ways students are responding to the assignmentÑif a substantial number of students are answering questions or presenting arguments differently than expected, your expectations or the answer key (in the case of an exam or problem set) may need to be re-worked.
- Survival Skill Tip: if you have a big stack of papers to grade (more than 30), pace yourself! Try to read no more than five papers a day so that you stay fresh and positive while grading.
- Even in Spring quarter when grades have to be turned around faster than usual due to graduation deadlines! If necessary, when in a rush, sacrifice detailed comments rather than overall quality of grading.
- While Grading Papers and Exams.
- you have made a clear connection between writing skills and grading .
- Decide with your teaching team whether to use numbers or letters when grading. Since you will probably be using a grading formula to tabulate final grades, you will be using numbers to some extent alreadyÉit is up to your team to decide the pros and cons of converting back and forth from letters to numbers or the other way around.
- Avoid letting the easy lure of the "negative grading" method (grading by just taking off points, rather than giving credit for good answers) become a negative attitude: be sure to make positive comments on student work even when grading against a point structure.
- Try to bring a little humor and useful enthusiasm into your grading to show that you're human and that you appreciate their effort and interests too.

- FROG covers a wide range of topics related to grading, including UW policies, procedures and forms, good practices, departmental averages, academic conduct issues, and student disability issues. This site is not intended to dictate any specific grading methodology. Rather, it openly advocates the need for a variety of grading styles to fit the range of courses provided on our diverse campus. Further, its intention is to encourage faculty to think critically about their own grading practices, to develop grading practices that lead to greater learning, and to openly discuss issues related to grading.

4. Grading Systems
- www1.umn.edu
- Grading Systems.
- The two most common types of grading systems used at the University of Minnesota are norm-referencedand criterion-referenced. Many professors combine elements of each of these systems for determining student grades by using a system of anchoring or by presetting grading criteria which are later adjusted based on actual student performance.
- This grading system rests on the assumption that the level of student performance will not vary much from class to class. ...
- A second objection to norm-referenced grading is that it promotes competition rather than cooperation. ...
- Since the standard in this grading system is absolute, it is possible that all students could get As or all students could get Ds.
- Instructors sometimes choose to maintain some flexibility in their grading system by telling the class in advance that the threshold for grades may be lowered if it seems appropriate. Thus, if a first exam was more difficult for students than the instructor imagined, s/he can lower the grading criteria rather than trying to compensate for the difficulty of the first exam with an easier second exam. ...
- Another way of doing criterion-referenced grading is by listing class objectives and assigning grades based on the extent to which the student achieved them. ...
- Some alternate systems of grading include contract grading, peer grading, and self-evaluation by students.
- o In contract grading instructors list activities students can participate in or objectives they can achieve, usually attaching a specified number of points for each activity (e. ...
- Peer grading is often used in composition classes and speech classes. ...

- U of A Letter Grading System.
- On September 1, 2003, the University of Alberta moved to a letter grading system with a four-point scale of numerical equivalents for calculating grade point averages (GPAs).
- Fall 2003 Grading Review.
- In September 2003, the University changed from a nine-point system to our current letter grading system. ...
- The Universities Co-ordinating Council (UCC), a committee of the Alberta government, decided that all institutions in the province should use the same grading system. It was determined that letter-grading scales are the most common grading scales and are therefore easiest for employers, educational institutions receiving U of A students and others who may be evaluating studentsÂ’ grades to understand. ...
- When the University of Alberta adopted the new system, the intent was to ensure the impact of the letter grading system on students would be neutral. ...
- Undergraduate Student Grading Scale.
- Graduate Student Grading Scale.
- Letter-grading scales are the most common grading scales and are therefore easiest for employers, educational institutions receiving U of A students and others who may be evaluating studentsÂ’ grades to understand.

8. Academic Conduct
- depts.washington.edu
- Grading Practices.
- This section, revised in August, 2002, addresses some of the key questions related to grading and student conduct:.
- How does the student's right to due process affect grading? Explains students' right to due process in issues related to grading and misconduct.
- Why is it important to distinguish between grading on mastery of content and grading on conduct? Explains the implications of court precedents that have distinguished between judging a student's academic performance and judging a student's conduct.
- How does the student's right to due process affect grading?.
- It involves providing students with a clear description of course expectations, including grading requirements, as well as behavioral guidelines. ...
- Why is it important for instructors to distinguish between grading on mastery of content and grading on conduct?.
- Although court cases focused on inappropriate grading practices are quite rare, grading based exclusively on content matery (rather than student behavior) is far less susceptible to legal challenge. ...
- Grading on mastery of content. ...
- In this way, grading cannot be perceived as "capricious" or "arbitrary. ...
- Grading on conduct. Inappropriate classroom behavior should be confronted apart from the Instructor's grading practices and processed through the University's regular conduct system (see Student Conduct Code). ...
- Unless a student's misbehavior is linked to course goals, an instructor should not use conduct as a grading criterion.
- Grading on behaviors such as missing class or handing in late papers, however, can present additional challenges. Because students are assured access to due process rights, if you choose to include student behavior as a criterion for course grading it is important to have clear distinctions between grading on mastery of academic content and grading on conduct. It is equally important to develop strategies for clarifying expectations for students and for letting students know what opportunities are available if they wish to discuss grading issues with you. ...
