4/9 Personal Contributions https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED198152.pdf Went through sources here. Suggested to check spaces that need citations, edit intro. 4/12Contract grading is a form of grading which results from cooperation between an instructor and their student(s), and entails a contracted number of assignments of specified quality that correspond to specific letter grades. These contracts often contain the following two characteristics, there are no finite amount of A’s given in the class. Any student who completes the work that corresponds to an A will receive an A. The second characteristic is instructors and students know exactly what is expected from them to receive a certain letter grade. Contract grading may be contrasted with other grading methods, such as grading on a curve or percentile systems. These curve and percentile systems include the Common Curve, Missouri Curve, and The Gaussian Curve. Grading on these curves creates an expectation that the number of A’s and B’s should correspond to the number of D’s and F’s leading to majority of students receiving C’s.

Angel, did you look at Wikipedia to see if there are existing pages for the kinds of grading curves you refer to? If so, plan to make internal links to them. Cathygaborusf (talk) 06:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
