    You have been reading and thinking about assessing student learning this week.  There are many arguments for and against grades, as a way of providing a clear, understandable measure of learning.

    For this discussion, choose a position, either for grades or against grades.  Make an argument supporting your position; provide theoretical and research support, rather than simply an opinion.  As part of your argument, address potential arguments against your position, as if preparing for a debate.  For example, if you present your argument, what might someone with a different opinion say, and how would you response to their opposition?

    When you respond to peers, try to use critical reasoning to respond.  If you agree, provide additional resources and reasons. If you disagree, provide a cogent, coherent argument.
