My school has a set grading policy that I as an instructor have no input. We are a corporate school and they tell us what % each assignment, quiz, exam, and project is worth. I feel this is ridiculous because they are not in the classroom and they are not experts in my field. Why do they feel final projects are worth more than Exams!! The students have a national board exam to take when they finish this program. It is a test not a project. I think that corporate is taking away discretion of the instructor at this institution to try to make it harder for the students to argue with grading policies, but I think it is doing more harm than good, because now a student can fail every exam but still pass the course because of all the other assignments, quizzes, and projects that they are required to do. This policy will not help them pass their national board exam!
