Abstract

This research paper, written by Navdeep Badhan in WRS 101, compares two grading systems in a post-secondary institution. Written from a student's perspective, the paper engages in an informative and interesting way with traditional and non-traditional ways of assessing student work, and it argues that one system is more favourable than the other in an academic setting.
