Case: Comparative grades
Mr. Gibson sets up his syllabus to give the top flute player a 100, 2nd place a 98, 3rd place a 96, etc... While this percentage of mastery is not a 96%, it is the grade on every playing assessment for the 3rd place flute girl. Is this way of assessing valid? How does this apply to a teacher grading essays and then applying a curve?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is not a valid assessment. As teachers we assess the individual not the class. It should be possible for every students to show mastery and receive a 100% on the assessment. I also do not agree with applying a curve to an assessment. If the class does not do well as a whole we should throw it out and remediate, not just curve the grade and move on. |

| Comments: I agree. When grades are curved so often that means that the students are not getting the material. And them understand is what is most important. |

| Comments: I agree it is also not fair for students when they work hard and do better than others but are not rewarded for the effort they have put forth in that assignment. |

| Comments: This is very true. I don't remember teachers having to apply a curve in Elementar schools, I thought it was more of a college habit. |
