== Abstract ==
Traditional grading systems tend to orient students toward point accumulation rather than learning, generate anxiety (particularly for first-generation and underrepresented students), and produce feedback that students rarely engage with once a grade has been assigned. Alternative grading approaches shift the focus toward evidence of learning and reduce adversarial faculty-student dynamics by moving rigor to course design rather than evaluation.
* Contract Grading establishes a written agreement at the start of the semester in which students commit to a defined body of work in exchange for a defined grade. Contracts are typically tiered (C, B, A), with each level requiring progressively more engagement. Grading becomes binary — work is either fulfilled or not — which reduces grade disputes and repositions faculty as coaches rather than judges.
* Specifications Grading assesses work as complete or incomplete against clearly published criteria. Students may revise and resubmit assignments, with "tokens" used to limit revision volume. Because feedback is tied to a subsequent revision opportunity, students have a concrete reason to act on it.
* Ungrading removes grades from individual assignments entirely. Students receive qualitative feedback throughout the semester and complete a self-assessment at the end; the instructor reviews and either confirms or negotiates the final grade. The model centers student metacognition and requires significant structural scaffolding and mutual trust.
* Negotiated Grading involves students and instructor co-determining what will count as evidence of learning and how it will be evaluated. This may include grading conferences — structured conversations in which both parties bring evidence and arrive at a grade collaboratively. The approach increases student ownership but is the most labor-intensive of the four, particularly in course design.
