GRADING PROCEDURES
When I am grading a student's work I am looking for certain criteria. The student's are well aware of what this criterion is because it is posted on the board at the beginning of each project. To me each assignment has it's own set of requirements so I break their grade into points based on 100%. Below is a sample of a grading rubric for the picture found on this page.
