Assigning Letter

Grades and Computing

Grades
Grades assign to students must include only
achievement. It is very important to avoid the
temptation to include effort for less able
students because it is difficult to assess effort
or potential and it is difficult to distinguish
ability from achievement and effort and
combined in some way, grades would mean
different things for different individuals.
Grades reflected on report cards are number or
numerical quantities arrived at after several data on the
students' performance are combined. The following
guidelines may be considered in combining such data:

-Properly weight each component to create a

composite.
-Put all components on same scale to weight properly

a. equate ranges of scores

b. or, convert all to T-scores or other standard scores.
 QUIZ 20 ITEMS

SCORE OF THE STUDENTS IS 18 PERCENTAGE IS 20%

18 ÷ 20 = 0.9

19
0.9 × 50 = 45

45 + 50 = 95

20 ÷ 100 = 0.2

95 × 0.2 = 19
 Non- Graded Evaluations
While not practiced in the Philippine school,
institutions, non-graded evaluations do not assign
numeric or letter grades as a matter of policy. This
practice is usually based on a belief that grades
introduced an inappropriate and distracting element
of competition into the learning process, or that they
are not meaningful as measures of intellectual
growth and development as are carefully crafted
faculty evaluations.
Many faculty, schools, and institutions that
follow a no-grade policy will, if requested,
produce grades or convert their student
evaluations into formulae acceptable to
authorities who require traditional
measures of performance.
