While the the Progress Report Module in COMENCE is not a grading system, it features progress indicators that can readily be converted into grade formats. Many in education have long recognized that student performance cannot be totally captured in some letter grade or numerical algorithm. Currently, more educational references are beginning to attest the effectiveness of Student Progress and how teachers, who form the key point of contact with students, are the best source to evaluate student academic progress.
COMENCE PROGRESS REPORTS
