Faye; I come from a health care discipline "Nursing" and we faced the same issue with grading sclaes and grade inflation. We got all of our Program Directors together and voted to have a grading scale where 80% of the course grade would come from exams, i.e. mid-term, final, quizzes, Participation is a given and all ofthose points and percentages go to class assignments which must be turned in.
