Grades cause an emotional reaction – either positive or negative.

Feedback causes you to think and engage, which is reflective learning

Dylan Wiliam

Never grade students while they are still learning something and, even

more important, do not reward them for their performance at that point.

Alfie Kohn

A mark or grade is an inadequate report of an inaccurate judgement by a biased and variable judge of the extent to which a student has attained an indefinite amount of material.

Paul L. Dressel

Students should experience their successes and failures not as reward and punishment but as information.

Students go over a recent test in small groups. This gives them a chance to remedy some gaps in understanding

before asking the teacher for help. This saves teacher time and improves the understanding of the student who is doing the explaining. Also students tend to understand something better when a peer explains it to them in ‘student language’.

1

Students trained to prepare for tests by generating then answering their own questions outperform

comparable groups who prepare in conventional ways.

2

Use the ‘find it and fix it’ technique (eg you have three answers correct out of five, find

the wrong answers and correct them).
