One thing that I learned from helping Mr. Angelis grade the students’ projects is that grading isn’t just based on skills and execution of a task at hand, effort also plays a big role in the grade a student receives. Of course, the natural artists create impressive pieces of art, if they lack in effort their grade will suffer as well. Likewise, students that may not be as artistically gifted but that give it 200% will also receive good grades. Overall, I’ve seen such an intense improvement with every single student compared to the beginning of the semester. Their works have become so much better than when they started and I personally really appreciated being able to see them grow in that aspect. There are so many things that go into grading and I think that art especially is very hard to grade because of the varying skill levels. Mathematics is easy to grade because an answer can be right or wrong, but when there are multiple factors that affect the end product, grading becomes a lot harder and you have to establish a thought-process to approach each individual student. In that regard, to be able to give the most accurate grades, you definitely need to get to know the students before you can grade them very well.
