Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/20254/4 A good substitute is a 0.0 to 4.0 scale, which everyone is already used to. That way the highest (4.0) and lowest (0.0) grades average out to a C (2.0), just as God intended :-) End of rant. 000
Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/20253/4 There is nothing wrong with zero grading! The problem is having a 10-point interval between other grades and a 60-point interval between a D and an F. Don’t mess with the zero, but change the intervals! 100
Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/20252/4 Unfortunately, critics of the grading system focus on the concept of “zero-grading” and try to remedy the problem by having a grading scale go from 50-100. That makes them sound as if they have low standards and want to reward students with points for work they didn’t turn in. 100
Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/20251/4 Sunday morning rant. The 100-point grading scale so widely used in the US is irrational and ridiculously unfair. Why in the world should a student who gets one A (100) and one F (0) get an overall grade of F (50)? 130
