    Grading System: Pass Or Fail System

    The pass or fail system is a better way to grade than the standard A-F grading system. First reason why I like the pass or fail system is because students worry less about each assignment grade. For example, having to see a D or an F on a report makes me feel like a failure. I am sure nobody likes to feel like they failed in anything, especially in an easy class. Next, the pass or fail grading system is better because it makes it easier for teachers and students. Teachers already have to do enough by grading assignments. Having to afterward go into the grading system and actually put in grades makes it even more work for them. As for students, they could simply check their grades quickly and see whether they passed the class or not just by…

    Grading In America

    A particularly difficult assignment is handed back with a large red C-minus glaring from the top corner. Embarrassed and upset, the student shoves the paper out of sight and does not answer any questions about how the assignment went. People think differently of a straight-A student than one who is usually in the C range. However, although letter grades are heavily relied on, they are so subjective, since a grade of A in one class might translate to a C in another, or vice versa. Which raises the question of why we place so much emphasis on the letter grade.…

    The Traditional Grading System and Why it Sucks

    In an article discussing whether or not a pass/fail grading system can reflect a student’s progress, Bonnie M. Miller, MD advocates for criteria based learning. She accurately points out that “A pass/fail grade indicates simply that a student has achieved an expected level of competence” and that this information is critical to understand if this student has fulfilled his or her obligations. She says that “students should be evaluated on their initiative, engagement with and concern for their own learning, interpersonal skills, [and] teamwork skills,” and that a student who meets this criteria qualifies for an A.…

    The Letter Grading System

    The letter grading system can even impact the National Security field. How the letter grading system can affect the National Security field is when candidates are hired, employers just look at transcripts that state the applicant passed a course with a good grade or not. When they look through the transcripts the employer will not be able to tell if the employee had struggles or not in school because there isn’t anything stating the employee has improved on the subject that they were struggling on. When this happens, the employer hires the person on board and the employee that just got hired may not at all be qualified for the job and not being qualified can cause problems in the defense of the United States.…

    Alternative Grading Methods

    Grades have long been used in most schools to indicate the degree to which students grasp subject matter and to document overall classroom performance. By most accounts, students with diverse learning needs and/or disabilities are at a significant disadvantage in school. Despite the fact that some students have IEP objectives and goals, some teachers, inclusion/general education teachers, sometimes forget that these students are working/processing information at a much slower rate than other student; therefore, forgetting to incorporate alternative grading options for students with diverse learning need or disabilities. Most often student grades generally stem from test performance; however, not all students are good test takers and without meaningful accommodations in curriculum and instruction and in testing and grading practices, many of these students will become further alienated; therefore, teachers need to develop alternative methods to the traditional grading system.…

    Grading Scale

    Anyone who has attended a high school or college will readily say that one of the most stressful aspects of the entire experience is grades. Students will loose hours of sleep per night poring over textbooks, clutching a pen in one hand and a mug of Starbucks coffee in the other. They soon foster an obsession with achieving and maintaining perfect grades to the point where anything that earns less than "A" is a disgusting failure. The lengths students go to in hopes of attaining good grades is maximal, often including the exchange of cash or sexual favors with their superiors for changed grades! It had been postulated that instructors are more likely to raise the grade of an attractive, tearful student than with the same plea whose looks might not be up to the same standard as their peers (Perlmutter, 2004). But why is there an unhealthy fixation on these letters and point values? Why is the siren 's call of the almighty "A" so strong that anything less is a monstrous travesty? On the other end of the spectrum, why is a "D" considered a passing grade when "C" is looked upon as just ok or "average?"…

    Pass/Fail Grading System

    Every student has had to deal with the traditional letter grading system at some point throughout their educational career. While I do think that the pass/fail grading system would help students be less stressed in school, I do not think that it is the proper way to grade. Letter grading keeps competition in the classroom, not always among all the students but also among oneself; it rewards the students for their hard work and dedication, and it could help them get the career they want later in life.…

    The A-F Grading System

    If the current grading system doesn’t provide motivation or success toward academic achievement, better changes and strategies should be enforced. The A-F letter grades system has been around since my great-grandparents academic career and beyond. The A-F grading system has had a significant impact because this grading system has defined us and granted us admission to the different institution. Colleges and universities set this grading system as a boundary to grant admission, funding, scholarship, and other benefit. However, the standards-based grading system has brought in negative impacts on preparing and studying for standardized tests, grade-level education, homework and other assignments. I believe universities classes should offer the…

    American Grading System

    In the American education system, it is the instructor’s responsibility to efficiently supply their students with necessary information and expertise so that they can excel in that particular subject or lesson. In return it is the student’s responsibility to absorb the information, study, and put forth effort to understand all of the course material presented to them. As the student progressively learns and takes part in assignments and exams, they are evaluated on their efforts and knowledge of the subject. These evaluations allow the instructor to notify the student of their individual achievements or failures, which gives them the opportunity to better understand how they can become…

    Migs Thesis

    A. Towards Poverty Reduction 1. A strategy of inclusive growth is fast evolving as a key agenda of emerging markets in many developing countries, with the end in view of achieving a significant reduction in poverty. Inclusive growth is anchored on three pillars, namely: (a) economic growth can be created by generating full and productive employment; (b) access to economic opportunities can be broadened by providing mechanisms for capability enhancement; and (c) minimum well-being can be ensured by providing social protection. Inclusive growth aims to disperse the benefits of economic development. Safety nets are at the core of inclusive growth, which can be channeled to address the welfare of the vulnerable and needy (ADB 2008)1. 2. In the Philippines, a wide range of social protection programs is in place. However, the 1997 Asian financial crisis exposed weaknesses in coverage, targeting methodologies and techniques, and operational constraints. These result in significant leakages; resources go unduly to the non-poor and the near-poor amid lack of reliable poverty measures as well as overlaps and redundancies in sectoral or geographical beneficiaries (ADB 2008)2. 3. Inadequate human capabilities and limited access to social services are often key factors underlying poverty and inequality in the country. While the Philippines has achieved nearly universal primary education, enrolment in secondary education, at about 73%, leaves much room for…

    FOUR P’S (PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM): IT’S EFFECT ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANE OF BENEFICIARIES

    Poverty has been a major problem in the Philippines.Unfortunately, the number of Filipinos suffering from the aforementioned social problem is increasing every year.Some have more than enough to eat, are well clothed and healthy, and have a reasonable degree of food security but others may have inadequate food and shelter. Their health is often poor, they may be unemployed and their prospects for a better life are uncertain at best.As one of the developing countries, the Philippines is still suffering from several sociological and economic problems. Incidence of poverty seems unstoppable. Many Filipinos are suffering from extreme poverty and hunger and the worse thing is these vulnerable populations are rapidly increasing in number.

    State Of The Nation Address

    The President Benigno Aquino III successfully delivered his fifth State of the Nation Address on Monday, July 28, 2014 at the Batasang Pambansa even there were so many militant’s outside. During his speech I became more open-minded about his administration and on what problem they are really focusing on and feel pity for those militant’s because some of the problems they are pointing to President Aquino must be point first to their designated local government. And as one of the people of this community we must also understand that those projects and progress takes time.He tackled the very important topic of Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) and defended his stance, showing all the projects where the funds and savings of the DAP was directed to. He said that this DAP fund was able to help TESDA scholars. He also shared about the Philippines as one of the leading countries in Asia, for its growth in GDP, GNP. Also, the employment rate had increased and that this reflects how the government handled the labor policies.…
