Grading and assessment are two distinct yet overlapped topics. This site is dedicated primarily to assessment - the getting and giving of feedback that helps teachers adjust their teaching and students adjust their learning. However, it is impossible to talk about assessment without occasionally discussing grading. Therefore, grading posts and resources pop up on this site from time to time. As a way to help members find these resources, this blog post has been created as to serve as a collection of grading links. Anything posted on this site related to grading can be found on this blog.
Also, please note that as more examples are added to this site, they will also be added to this blog.
