What are the main criteria that the graders use for allocating points when they grade?
John instructs the graders to look for all the valid chunks of information that students put down in their answers. The graders are to give more points when they see more valid statements drawn from the readings or lectures. The more that students prove to the graders that they have studied the readings and lectures, the more points they receive. The top grade for any test question is 6 points, and the graders determine what kind of answer deserve 6 points by seeing how well the best students can answer each question.
