[quote=Anonymous]MS. In one class, 30% of the whole Tasks and Assessment grade for the quarter is a poster project about the topic they are studying this month. Less than 10 sentences, plus clip art pictures. One third of that project (10% of the whole quarter) grade is for the aesthetics of the pictures and fonts. There's even a penalty point in the rubric for including [i]too much information.[/i] This the teacher trying to give away points to get kid's grades up right? Nope! The average grade for the whole class is 70%, and most of the points being taken off are for these visual features. Is this a way for the teacher to manipulate grades for favored/disfavored students?
