Absolute Grading Vs Relative Grading in Semester system !!
Apr 27th, 2008 by admin
There is a bit compexity in this discussion , some guys think that Absolute system is good but some guys think that Relative system is good . First of all I would briefy explain both the systems and i’ll leave the result upon my readers , ok? - I think it’s ok ,
- Relative Grading System: Relative grading system is mostly adopted in the semester system , there are few reason’s why , in relative grading system your grading will be dependent on the topper of the class . If one of your class mate has taken 100 out of 100 , then your grading will be compared to that guy and the equivalent grade will be the virtual image of that topper , not only you but whole the class will have the same think . This system is good because , if some teacher make a tough paper and most of the students could not do it well and the final result shows that topper got 40 out of 100 , then whole of the class will be compared to the topper , and there is a probability that all of you guys get pass even after doing a shitty paper . Topper will get A grade even for getting 40 out of 100 . That’s the real beauty of this program . As you guys know that where there is a good thing , there is always some bad thing attached loll , now if the same student get 100 out of 100 marks then your grading will be compared to that guy and there is a probability that you get D grade even if you have got 80 out of 100 . So, everything in this system is one the class average . If you class average is good then you can achieve your goal .
- Absolute Grading system : Now this is another form of grading system , in this system all of the grades are given on the basis of your marks . for example if your marks are between 75-80 then you will get A- grade , if your marks are between 70 -75 then you might get some other grade . In this system every grade is specified on level of your marks and it don not have that much potential as the Relative grading system.
Now what do you guys think which is the good grading system ? - I would wait for your comments , Here is my opinion , I think that relative grading system is marvelous , Reason : In this system everyone tries to get to be a topper and get a A grade , In this system there is a confirm A grade and there is no issue if the teacher make a bad and difficult paper , as reported by most of the students . However in absolute grading system if the teacher make a difficult paper then even a topper can get fail and this is bad with the good students , let me see what your mind can ask ?
