I encourage everyone to subscribe to, or at least pay frequent attention to, the ASSESS listserv (subscription info on left side of this page). You'll find a recent discussion very interesting. ASSESS subscribers discuss quite a number of angles relative to the relationship between grades and genuine assessment. Here's a link to August's threads on the listserv. Look for the thread called "Assessments replacing grades."
Assess this! is a gathering place for information and resources about new and better ways to promote learning in higher education, with a special focus on high-impact educational practices, student engagement, general or liberal education, and assessment of learning. The blog's name comes from one of the major activities in the ongoing cycle that starts with establishing student learning outcomes and proceeds through designing learning opportunities, assessing their effectiveness, and using assessment results to make improvements in educational practices.
If you'd like to help make Assess this! more useful, there are some things you can do. You can comment on a post by clicking on the comments link following the post.
