That's ridiculous.[/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Because whole numbers are grades.  Rounding is taught in early elementary school for a reason.  It's used everywhere!  So, for a teacher not to follow the same protocols used everywhere else numbers come into play is ridiculous.[/quote]

Yeah I hope you aren't a math teacher! Not rounding 89.6 to 90 reflects a poor understanding of basic math. [/quote]

Some round up.  Some don't.  There is no requirement to round.  There is no "protocol."  Sorry that you don't like it.  Go complain to my boss.  See how far that gets you.  Or just keep whining anonymously if that makes you feel better.  [/quote]

not PP, but do you give out grades on assignments to the first decimal place? If not, you're wrong to not round. Not talking about protocol - just basic math: https://www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/tools/data_analysis/errors_sigfigs.html[/quote][/quote]

Or, perhaps, +0.5 since we know that rounds to 1 [/quote]

This isn't "just basic math."  You are straining to make a mostly qualitative process into something quantitative.   [/quote]

that's exactly what grades [i]are[/i].... :P [/quote]
