This chapter of Understanding by Design focuses on the various factors that go into grading and what a teacher needs to be focusing on when grading a student. It seems apparent that grading is a necessary evil for most teacher and that it is very difficult to put a letter or number on a students learning throughout a time period. One point that was made which really stood out to me was that of not incorporating everything into the grading process. Students should not feel that everything they do in class is going to be judged, and they need to be comfortable exploring within the learning process to determine how things work. I hope that as a teacher I will do a lot of assessing of students before grading the work they do.
