[quote=Anonymous]The difference I’m seeing from last year and this one is that previously students could earn a 10 or 20 percent grade bump from doing the homework- now, the homework, quizzes, and other assignments such as labs don’t count. Also there was the opportunity for retakes on tests/assessments. That is gone. So all the pressure is on the one assessment, which are somehow broken down into 5 grading skills. This is resulting in pressure to be perfect on that one day of testing. Overall it is more difficult to get an A than it was before. Madison thinks it is the leader and at the forefront of grading - but those on the outside don’t know how flawed the system is. [/quote]
