Chapter 9 Reflection

This chapter talks about things not to do when differentiating assessment and grading. They talk about ten things to avoid when it comes to grading. some of the tips include, avoid penalizing students' multiple attempts at mastery, avoid grading practice assignments, avoid assessing students in a ways that do not accurately indicate their mastery.

We thought that it was a good idea to not grade homework on the answers they got wrong if it is practice homework, but instead to grade on effort, as long as you can see that the student tried then they should get credit for the assignment.
We also think that a better way for students to get good grades is to give them the opportunity to revise their work to get full credit, this way you don't have to grade twice as much work and they don't have to do more work for your class
