Also, one criticism I have seen of standards based grading is that there are only two "successful" levels where the student has met the standard, and since E's are rare most students who have met or exceeded the standard will have a P. Therefore, it is hard to tell exactly how your student is doing. They have met the standard, but have they just barely met it or are they far above it and producing work that's consistently almost completely free from mistakes? That is information I would find valuable, and due to the design of the letter grade system it is much easier to find that out under letter grades. With letter grades there are either 3 or 4 "successful" levels, depending on the school's policies. Either a D or a C is "barely meeting" the standards, and there are well-defined levels above that to differentiate how well a given student is meeting or exceeding the standards.[/quote]
I agree completely.  Without refining it any farther than it is currently, you may as well make it pass/fail.[/quote]
