Grading by Contract.
Memo to the Faculty, n57 p1-6 Apr 1976
A contrast is drawn between "norm-referenced" grading (on the curve) and "criterion-referenced" grading (including contract). Most teachers incorporate both methods but without always being aware of the logic behind their grading procedures. It is suggested that the academic units of the University of Michigan must continue to search out a rational policy to guide the grading decisions made by its teachers. (Author/LBH)
