FIAE Chapter 7: The Relative Definitions of Grades and Their Definitions

Chapter 7 of FIAE is about grading. Grading is arbitrary because the meaning of the grades A, B, C, D and F are not agreed upon among all educators. This chapter affects me because despite how arbitrary grades can seem at times I will have to come up with some kind of system for giving my students a grade. This grade will have to mean something and I will have to know what it means. I will have to decide what constitutes an A or an F and everything I between. Not only that, but my class will have a right to know these things so that they will know what they are striving for.
