ABSTRACT
Fairness on the part of their educators is very important to students (Rodabaugh, 1996). Two primary areas of concern are the establishment and enforcement of rules for grading (the topic of this chapter) and the equitable assignment of grades (the topic of chapter 6). Although some members of the academic community question the value of testing and grading or other means of assessing student performance, evaluations remain an integral part of the educational system.
