Description
While the grading of student writing is of central concern to composition studies and to teaching, the process has not been clearly defined. The act of assigning a grade raises such issues as how teachers read student writing, whether form and content are of equal concern, what the purpose of grading is, and whether grading should take place at all. The vagueness of grading points to the complexity of the topic, which encompasses such matters as student peer review, psychometrics, student-teacher conferences, portfolios, collaborative learning, and English-as-a-Second-Language. Because of the centrality of grading and its complexity, the topic has generated a large body of literature.
Reviews / Votes
It is recommended for academic libraries, should be of particular interest to faculty seeking creative ways to teach and grade student's work, and will serve as a resource for institutions that have active writing centers. Choice; ""This will be a useful resource for professors of writing, researchers, and teachers who are searching for ways to improve or evaluate their grading methods. Thanks to its exhaustive number on entries, it shoud prove particularly useful for doctoral students in search of a related research project."" ARBAMore details
