(From the hard copy book Tools for Teaching by Barbara Gross Davis) There are no hard-and-fast rules about the best ways to grade. In fact, as Erickson and Strommer (1991) point out, how you grade depends a great deal on your values, assumptions, and educational philosophy: if you view introductory courses as "weeder" classes%u2013to separate out students who lack potential for future success in the field%u2013you are likely to take a different grading approach than someone who views introductory courses as teaching important skills that all students need to master.
