Knesek<\/a> argues that the focus on grades translates into &#8220;no real emphasis on learning\u2014the true purpose of education.&#8221; He recalls that &#8220;when I encounter students after they have graduated, they almost always remember what grade they received in my class; yet when I ask about what concepts they learned, they hesitate before answering.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why Perfect Grades Don&#039;t Matter\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KShfEMy8UZQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A grading policy that reduces anxiety and stress and moves students to persevere and learn is resubmission. Generally, student perform poorly in course assessments for three reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interfering event or condition that impeded success.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assessment design impeded knowledge communication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inadequate preparation or weak understanding of instructional objective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grading for Equity: What It Is, Why It Matters, How It Transforms Schools and Classrooms\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bE4RmeuPT-w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the case, resubmission allows the student an opportunity to &#8220;learn the material, continue in the trajectory of the formative process, and to remove any feelings of helplessness to learn or to do well in the class.&#8221; If students are not allowed to revisit and learn from their mistakes, then there are voids in this formative process which will impact a student&#8217;s ability to achieve the course&#8217;s student learning outcomes. What must also be considered is that once a student has made a mistake in learning, the path to redeeming that mistake without resubmission can seem hopeless. To emphasize this point, let us assume that a student has received a 0 in one assignment and 85s in two other assignments. The average score is a 56, or no-passing grade. After completing an additional two assignments, at a score of 85, the student is only at a 68, again a non-passing grade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How might resubmission change the grade trajectory, motivation, and engagement of this student in the remainder of the course?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why Do We Get Grades in School?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NqjolyDN5tw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grading practices is an aspect of a course&#8217;s framework that can have adverse impact on student social-emotional engagement.
