[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College classes have like 3 grades total - a midterm, a final and a paper. Maybe one other test in between. There is a lot of reading but they aren’t grading any homework or any in between stuff. You need to read to be able to understand the lectures. And ultimately that will help you in the midterm and final. There is no need for homework to be graded or all these little assignments - it should just be the tests and/or a paper. Period.[/quote] College classes exist like this and are "known," but some classes, even 500 person lectures have smaller assignments that are turned in and graded by a group of TAs. This "college classes all look like X or Y" tells me that some either didn't go to college or don't remember. Grades on smaller assignments can't help inform a kid on their progress in a topic and "hold them responsible" for their progress. This is a better alternative than retakes and grade replacements that excuse poor progress. [/quote]
