❤️ it! I went to Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts which is a COMPLETELY narrative evaluation based Liberal Arts College in it's "Divisional" approach to "Faculty Committee-Based" supervision of each student, along with the traditional Academic Advisor that every college student has.
Even the Natural Science program at Hampshire is HEAVILY research, experiment and narrative evaluation based. SO, I very much like what Professor at Detroit Mercy is doing.
The calculation of the current grade was a big challenge when I tested out alternative grading. I had even developed an excel sheet and all they had to do was to put the numbers for eight standards in the highlighted rows. Even then, they complained that they did not know their grade. The CANVAS grade reflected their lowest possible overall grade though at any point in the course - so they were not totally clueless about their grade if they did not wish to mess with the excel sheet.
