New Publications
Current Trends in Grades and Grading Practices in Higher Education:
Results of the 2004 ASCAOR Survey
$75 nonmember/$50 member; 2005; Item 0106
ASCAOR’s new publication continues the tradition of surveying grading practices in higher education first begun in 1920. Although much has changed in the world of academia since, grades have remained a central feature. This consistent importance and interest, as well as our members’ role as the guardians of academic records, has been the impetus for ASCAOR’s continued study of grades and grading practices in American colleges and universities. The most recent study prior to this one was conducted in 1992.
