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.
