Grading Assessments (Instructor Version)
Grading Credit
-
Full Credit - Answer is correct
-
¾ Credit - Given for a student able to self-correct once an error was pointed out or there’s a correct answer, which wasn’t simplified or in the wrong place (eg. the student had the right answer in their work but posted an incorrect answer on the answer line)
-
½ Credit - Given if you clarify directions, point out the correct operation (subtract and not add), or help point out an error (“check your subtraction again”)
-
¼ Credit - Given for showing awareness of skill being assessed such as 4 by 2 division with the right steps but incorrect subtraction.
-
0 Credit - Given if you give definitions or show the student how to solve a problem: “least common multiple is the smallest number that...”, “8% means 8 for each hundred...
- If a question is marked as "H", this is the equivalent of ½ Credit. An instructor has "helped" a student with the question.
- If a question is marked as "T", this is the equivalent of 0 Credit. An instructor has "taught" a student the question.
Tips
- If a question is marked as anything but full credit, the entire PK for that question will be assigned. As a result, feel free to be generous with grading if a student doesn't seem to be performing very well on the assessment.
- If a question asks to list fractions within a lower and upper bound, do not give credit for equivalent fractions
- Please initial and date each page at the bottom right corner.
- Try not to grade if you have more than two students at your table.
- You are not required to grade each green/blue page that your student completes. If you do not know the answer to a problem, please leave it ungraded. It is detrimental to our students if we misgrade their assessments.
- If you have downtime, please feel free to grade a few assessments in the "Ungraded Bin".
Turning in Graded Assessments
Upon grading a blue/green page, ensure that...
- partial credit is given
- each page is dated and initialed
Afterward, please place the graded assessments in the "Ungraded Bin". Don't worry about any of the other bins.
