Fair Isn't Always Equal: Chapter 7

Chapter 7: This chapter discussed assessments and how important it is to have consistent grading. When students are given a letter grade, it symbolizes how well they learned the material. If no feedback is given then this system of assessing is useless to the student. Students strive to have good grades and it is important that teachers support them and their work by giving feedback, whether it is through formative assessment or written feedback on a final product. I think that this is very important as students learn from their own mistakes. I will try to provide feedback early and often so my students will know how they are doing and any improvements that could be made.
