Ungrading: Or Why I Give A's to (nearly) All of My students

"We ask our students to study, we test them to assess what they’ve learned, and grade them based on how they perform on the tests. But is working for a “grade” an appropriate goal? Does an education system based on the teacher’s subjective assessments of individual learning create societal value? 

"I make no claim that the teaching method I use is appropriate for all learning situations, and there are people far more knowledgeable than me in both pedagogy and educational psychology. But since 2013 I’ve taught a 4-credit graduate course for Systems Engineers and Engineering Managers at Oakland University, in which I have almost entirely abandoned grading, and I thought it should be discussed. "
