Assess Chapter 11

Abstract: Chapter eleven focuses on different grading issues. The first one is the use of zeros in grading. Another issue brought up was how to the grade gifted or special needs students without cheating others or treating them differently. Thirdly, the use of weighting grades and what should be weighted certain amounts. The chapter presents several different issues that teachers face with grading.

Reflection: As a teacher, it is hard to decide the intervals that each grade should be in. Grading both gifted students and special needs students requires special thoughts in mind. Teachers should consult each other in facing these grading issues. Grading is probably one of the most controversial issues in school because some students are very grade-motivated but yet it can hurt other students.
