Avoid using answer patterns. If you make a new exam, be sure to make it similar in difficulty to the first. Have the student take the exam in a place where he or she will not be disturbed by other students. D. Grading Departmental grade books Make your grade book neat. Do not leave the grade book lying around where students can easily look at it or alter it.
Grades are confidential.
Update the grades directly in the book as opposed to making notes of the grades and later putting them in the book. Notes are easily lost. Grade reports Be sure to let students know how they re doing before the last drop day, particularly those doing D or F work. Posting grades Grades are posted on the web very soon after instructors turn them in to their department, and can be accessed by the students individually. It is against university policy to post grades publicly.
