- Will I grade on an absolute (criterion-referenced) standard, on a relative (norm-referenced) standard, on subjective determinations of student learning, on student-teacher contracts, or on some other method of grading?
- What are my reasons for choosing the method I will use?
- What do I consider outstanding performance?
- How should an average student perform?
- What are my reasons for allowing or not allowing students opportunities to earn extra credit?
- What are my values concerning student attendance, class participation, and completion of assignments?
- Will I depend upon a single method for assessing students' learning, or will I use a variety of methods (tests, writing assignments, oral presentations)?
- Have I described my grading plan adequately to students in writing in the course syllabus and orally at the beginning of the course?
- How will I handle late or missing assignments?
