Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | "Within any college or university, several different approaches to grading are used to evaluate students. Disparities in grading practices have serious consequences for both students and faculty, the most obvious being inequitable evaluations of students. More serious effects include a reduction in the number of science and mathematics courses that students take and a general degradation of academic standards. Recent efforts to reform grading practices have been thwarted by the claim that higher grades simply reflect higher levels of student achievement." "Professor Johnson provides evidence that this claim is not true. He also shows that student evaluations of instruction are affected by an instructor's grading practices, grading practices significantly alter student enrollment patterns, and grades assigned in an unregulated academic environment do not have a consistent and objective interpretation across departments and institutions. This book challenges many myths about grading, and exposes the negative influence that grades exert on our eduational system."--BOOK JACKET. |
