This chapter focuses on one intrinsic and two extrinsic qualities of students that should not be graded. The author does not believe attendance, effort, or behavior should be graded because they are not objective and they do not indicate mastery. One of the points that was made that I found useful was the idea that students should be given the tools needed to meet the expectations teachers set for them. The chapter emphasizes that just clearly presenting what is required of students will be of no benefit to them if they don’t have the appropriate processing time and are not given effective feedback. As a teacher, it will be important for me to make sure that I am regularly checking up on my students and ensuring they understand what I am teaching them.
