The purpose of grades is to assess yourself based on the grade you receive.
What I think of Grades. What teachers and average students think of grades.
- A- Awesome and perfect A- Amazing
- B- Terrible B- Above Average
- C- Might as well lock myself in a room C- Average
- D-Can only do homework, nothing else D- Below Average
- F-Absolute Fail F- Fail
I think the traditional system is good because 100 is an easy number in math, such as fractions. In addition, the 100 point scale can be more specific on what percentage you get in the subject. The number system does represent my knowledge because it shows that I am succeeding in all my classes because I have all A's. I believe that we should combine the two grading systems because both of the grading systems have something the other one does not. For example, the traditional grading system has more precise grading because of the 100 point scale. It, however, is not specific on the objectives for the class. The standard-based grading system is the opposite. It is general when assessing the student by using partially proficient, proficient and advanced. However, the standard-based grading system is clearer on the objectives of learning by scoring each objective. Therefore, if we combined the two different grading systems, the combined grading system would be that much closer to perfection. I find this combination in rubics. Rubics grade you on each section of the assignment. They also use the 100 point scale when totaling the points from each segment. In conclusion, the traditional grading system has advantages and disadvantages and can be enhanced to perfection.
