Abstract
Well this chapter for the most part as agreed in our groups is all about changing the grading system used through out most of the united states. Here in the United States we use a 100-point grading scale for our school. But this chapter says that this sale is bad because it puts so much emphasis on the grade and the student getting that single grade. The book says that if we move to a four point sale from a 100 point scale there will e less worry about the actual grade. Because as we have been learning the grade is not the most important thing in the classroom. The grade should only be there to satisfy the government. With this four-point scale the book says that we can have that and focus less on the grade and more on the learning of the material, mastery of the material.
Reflection
By all of us in our group this chapter made a lot of sense because it goes right along with what we have all been learning in this class. Non of us like a grading system it seems and if we could I think all of us would get rid of grade. But in the system know we are all struggling to get from a system that is based on the grade and trying to do mastery of material. Everyone in our groups think that a four point grading scale would dbe great for student, because then you always have a rubric telling them what thy need to do, and you can then focus on the learning and not the actual grade.
