    Four Questions in Grading (Svinicki,

    2007)

    marinila D. Svinicki (2007) of the Center for Teaching Effectiveness of the University of Texas
    at Austin poses four intriguing questions relative to grading. We reflect these questions here in
    this section and the corresponding opinion of Ms. Svinicki for your own reflection:

    1. Should grades reflect absolute achievement level or achievement relative to


    others in the same class?
    2. Should grades reflect achievement only or nonacademic components such as
    attitude, speed and diligence?
    3. Should grades report status achieved or amount of growth?
    4. How can several grades on diverse skills combine to give a single mark?
