  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!)
I think student a both should be evaluated to see if their is a learning disability. However, I don't think that it fair to have the same privileges especially if one of the students has a learning disability.
