Which grading scale is better? The ten point scale or the six?
we just switched to the ten this year, but i'm not sure which one is better.
I prefer ten point scale.
I presume this means
90-100 A 80-89 B 70-79 C 60-69 D 0-59 F
Most colleges and university professors I have encountered
use ten point scale and ten point scale seems less intimidating to students.
It seems that teacher and schools who employ a six or
seven point scale usually compensate for that by giving
extra credit points or counting homework or something
nonacademic such as behavior as an extra 100% in student
averages to produce similar grading results as they would
obtain if grading on a ten point scale.
The most common six/seven point scale I've seen is
93-100 A 85-92 B 77-84 C 70-76 D 0-69 F
and I think this scale is artificially intimidating to students
and may cause some to just give up with a sense that
the grading scale is unfair.
I prefer to just use the ten point scale. If a student
can earn and keep a ninety percent test average that
student is a high achiever and should be allowed to receive
an A to reflect that achievement. Don't fustrate them by
handing them a B and telling them they missed their A by
3 points. Moreover, I like for my F's to have dropped
well into the fifties or lower, not a high 60's grade which is a D+ . If you have 70 or 75 I truly think you get to receive your C , an
average grade which allows the student to play sports and
avoid parental punishments (except in extremely strict homes where lower than B is not tolerated) .
If grades seem inflated on a ten point scale, I believe it
is not because of the grade scale, but because the test
questions are not challenging enough.
I like to have at least a derivation or proof or
multiple step word problem among the questions
on a test so that grades of 95 to 100 (or higher
when I make extra credit available) only go to students
who have a very sound understanding of the material.
Of course, if you teach in a school where the principal or
the school board has set the grading scale, you have
little choice but to grade as directed. I still see most
teachers compelled to use such systems devicing
extra credit schemes to permit students to earn approximately the same grade they would without the
scheme on the ten point system
