Exit Slip for Oct 17th

I think percentages may be better and more accurate than assigning letter grades. The stress that comes from the difference between a B+ and A- is much worse compared to an 83 to 86 percent. The problem with this is that we can't assign a percentage to everything. Students may vary in different areas of knowledge. For example, one student may be better at solving questions on paper, but another student may be better at explaining it in words. Both students could be very knowledgeable, but it would be easier to assign a percentage for the first student. Percentages may not be the best and most accurate, but it is somewhat an acceptable baseline of measure for knowledge.
