How Do I Grade Without Tests?

November 5, 2009

There is a lot of details about grading in my book, “Sample Comprehensive Record.“  You can see for yourself how a real homeschooler provided course grades without tests.

I used tests for math, science, and foreign language – because I used curriculum that provided tests for those subjects, not because those subjects require tests.  Most of the other classes listed in the Sample Comprehensive Record describe how I evaluated without testing.  If you are having trouble getting your head around this issue, the book can be a real eye-opener!

I have two article on grading that may help you begin to think outside the box:
How to Assign Grades without Grading
Grouch Free Guide to Grading

If you haven’t tested prior to high school, there is no reason to change.  If there is a subject you are studying, and you don’t want to test but you don’t know what else to do, I encourage you to think outside the box.
