Grading in education is the process of applying standardized


measurements of varying levels of achievement in a course.

Grades can be assigned in letters, as a range (for example 1 to


6), as a percentage of a total number correct, or as a number out
of a possible total (for example out of 20 or 100).

In some countries, all grades from all current classes are


averaged to create a grade point average (GPA) for the marking
period. The GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade
points a student earned in a given period of time of middle
school through high school. The GPA can be used by potential
employers or educational institutions to assess and compare
applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is a calculation
of the average of all of a student's grades for all of his or her
complete education career

Grading is the grouping of student academic work into bands of


achievement. Grading usually occurs at a larger level, for
example: significant assessment tasks, entire modules or courses
and again is represented by a symbol (Sadler, 2005). The most
common grading symbols are A,B,C,D etc and HD, D, C, P
(High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Pass) etc.
Grades are commonly determined by adding up the raw data of
marks or scores, and converting this to a band of achievement.

Criteria-based assessment tasks need to be accompanied by clear

about how their work will be judged.

No matter how well constructed and clear you feel your marking
scheme is; students may still misinterpret it. Language, by its
very nature is open to a myriad of interpretations, and what
seems clear and obvious to you may not be so for students.
Involve Students
Getting students involved in the development of the marking
scheme; as part of your teaching and learning strategy can aid
their understanding. It provides an opportunity for students to be
a part of the thinking process around judging performance and
deepens their understanding of what is required. It can also
allow for discussion and agreements to be reached about the
meanings of certain words and phrases in the context of the
assessment task.
Once a marking scheme is agreed upon, it affirms that the
students do indeed know the criteria and that you know they
know.

GRADING VS. MARKS:-


Both marks and grades are symbolic representations that
summaries the quality of student work and level of achievement.
Marks and Grades are used to represent the level of learning a
student has achieved. Marks are scores, mostly numerical,
applied to individual tasks. Raw marks are usually added up and
converted to a Grade which represents a band of achievement at
course level.
