FIAE Chapter 11

Chapter 11 tells us more about grading and how it reflects student achievement. I was interested in how much recording a zero as a grade negatively effects the students grade and does not accurately portray a student's level of achievement. The section on here regarding how to grade gifted students kind of angered me. They didn't really offer any kind of real suggestions other then to add some sort of supplement or make sure that the name of the class is reflected. This is unfair to gifted students since they are taking on more challenging work, without adding a weight to these or anything, the incentive for taking honors classes is lost. The rest of the chapter pertains to late work and making sure that we are not grading automaticity instead of concept attainment. This are all important to me in helping me decide how I will tabulate my grades.
