grading

Grading is the process of evaluating and assigning a standard mark or level to a student's work, based on how well it meets specific criteria or learning objectives. It helps teachers communicate a student's understanding and proficiency, often using a scale such as letters (A-F), percentages, or descriptive terms like "pass" or "excellent." Grading provides feedback to guide improvement and helps make comparisons across students. It’s a way to measure achievement fairly and consistently, ensuring everyone’s efforts are recognized and areas needing development are identified.
