[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how there can be “easy” or “tough” grading in math. Isn’t there only one right answer? Grading writing can be much more subjective, I know that, even with rubrics. But what is a “tough” grader in math doing differently?[/quote] Easier: Partial credit when a child does some steps of a multi-step algorithm correctly. Tougher: No re-takes, no extra credit, no partial credit. Particular rules about how work must be shown or how answers are displayed (boxing answers, including units where appropriate). [/quote] I believe the papers define them more along the lines of expected GPA. Teachers who pass out As like they're going out of style do worse than "be delighted with your B" teachers.[/quote]
