  Case: Mastery Grading
Student A has tried very hard all semester on each assignment and assessment. They have shown progress over time but is currently failing. Student B is very capable but has played around the whole semester. He or she is failing, but could have been passing all along. Student B does well on assessments, but fails to complete or turn in all other assignments. How do you ensure that mastery grading is done fairly with the two students? Is it fair for student B to recieve a passing grade or the same privileges as student A?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Student A should know whether assignments are due or not. Student B is consistently trying and continues. I would pass both if I were to choose. Students should all get the same privileges because it is not ethical for a teacher to do so. But if I were to choose student B would pass because not everyone is a great test taker.

Comments: I don't feel like this is a helpful solution and would not use it in the future for a situation like this. I don't feel student B should pass just because he/she is a good test taker, that is not an accurate demonstration of understanding.

Comments: Students should be given what they need to succeed, not the same exact thing as another student. This isn't a good solution.
