      I'm not a teacher and have never been one, but the idea of holistic grading has always struck me as insane...for two reasons * the pragmatic one, discussed here * the intellectual or ideological one: it is conceptually & morally simple to grade "math skill as per test", but >>>https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1339995425034649600 …

      Grading by formula is straightfoward, but it seems fairer and better for the world overall to try to make a deep wholistic judgment. Yet that is harder and feels more stressful, as seems so much easier for biases to drive results. Others may accuse you of bias, even if absent.

      2/ what does it even MEAN to grade someone holistically? Tests and classes are about certain things. Does "kindness" factor into a calculus grade? How would one even know a student's kindness? Finally >>>

      3/ One thing I realized in my late 20s and early 30s when doing projects in the workshop was that I often was highly ineffective when I tried to interleave two or more stages of a project, e.g. designing a shelf + generating a cut list + cutting it each is a distinct activity

          4/ I had great success by "deskilling" my projects: completing each step in a manner that made the next step simple enough that it became just instruction following. [ this is a large part of the input to the homesteading book, btw - me doing this for 7 yrs and saving notes! ]

          5/ So, anyway, I suggest that grading should be deskilled. Test design and teaching should have taken care of most of the hard work, and grading is now a simple exercise in adding numbers (or letting the spreadsheet do it for you!)
