Grading Tests Reflection

Today, in class, you all diligently graded your tests in groups, collaborating on the correct answers and discussing any discrepancies. Please reflect upon the process; you must respond to the question and ALSO respond to one other person's comment for full credit.

By grading collaboratively-What did it teach you? What did you take away? Was this a good measure of your learning and effort? Do you believe your group was honest and forthcoming in giving, or not giving, credit to individuals? Were there any problems?

When we graded our tests today, my group did the grading one at a time. We looked over the answer and confronted the group about weather we should give them credit or not. I was in Jake's group and one thing that i think we had a problem with was staying focused. We all got the grading done but some of the time we talked about other things. I thought my group was honest in giving credit and not giving credit because we all looked carefully at what the group said.

The grading system used today taught me how others read. It may have taken away private thoughts, but at no negative expense. This was not a great representation of my effort because I have friends which may have caused me to make a few bias opinions. Our group seemed to be as honest and fair as humanly possible. We did not come across any problems along the way. I think that what Jake W said about the group discussion helped our group tremendously. This helped us have more varied opinions.

In my group we got to a question and read everybody's answer out loud. Then we debated if the answer was worth the full amount of points. If one person disagreed on a answer than we would have everybody's opinions on it. This tought other ways people looked at things. I thought this worked very well because we got to debate on the answers. My group was honest. We either got the answer wrong or write. We didnt give any answers away or anything. There wasn't much problems except for that it took us awile to find out if the answer was right or wrong and we debated for awile. I disagree with what Ian said because that is not fair for the person who the group is grading. They need to ask the teacher or someone else to find the correct answer.
