Carlson School Grading Policy
In Spring 2019, the faculty of the Carlson School approved grading guidelines for undergraduate courses that strongly encourage instructors to use criterion-based grading. Criterion-based grading changes the message from students competing with each other to students working to meet instructor expectations. It is the responsibility of the instructor to set the rigor of the course and design appropriate assessments so that differences in course achievement are reflected in differences in grades. Faculty hope this will encourage a collaborative learning environment that reduces incentives for hyper-competitive behavior.
