Grading System

The document discusses different types of grading systems - absolute and relative grading. Absolute grading involves assigning grades based on percentages depending on how well a student has met the requirements of a model answer. Relative grading tells students how their answers rated in relation to other students by indicating if they are average, above average or below average. The document also outlines the need for a grading system, defines various terminologies related to grading, and provides examples of different grading scales.

OTHER TYPES OF GRADING
Slide 2
ABSOLUTE
Slide 4 GRADING :

This is the system of assigning


grades by which the student
get the marks for the answers,
depending on how well he has
met the requirements of the
model answer and is
expressed as percentage.
ABSOLUTE GRADING:
• When using absolute
grading it is useful to use
the analytic method of
marking.
• A marking key is
prepared in advance and
marks are allotted to the
specific point of content
in the model answer.
• This is a more reliable
method.
RELATIVE GRADING

This type of grading tells


the student how his
answers rated in relation to
other students doing the
same test, by indicating
whether or not he is
average, above average or
below average..
CONT……
 Relative grading, uses a literal
scale A, B, C and E With a
relative grading it is better to
use the global method of
marking.
 The global method of marking
also requires a model answer,
but serves only a standard of
comparison.
 The grades used are scales
and points are given as per
scale
Need for Grading System

 Criteria for evaluation differ


from board to board and
from university to university.
 Marks awarded by
examiners are not scaled
properly.
 A difference of only 1%
changes the entire status of
an examinee.
