Hi all,
I'm curious about how (those who do) you grade application exercises considering that they should ideally not have a clear single best answer. At my former and current institution we agreed not to grade GAEs to encourage faculty to push the limits and develop challenging applications that may have more than one correct answer.
Thanks for your input.

Jim and Others,
My grading scheme creates 2 general categories, with sub-items in each one. The specific points vary from time to time, but the last time I taught a course, here was the breakdown, with 200 points in the whole course:
Individual Work: (100 Points)
- iRATs (best 4 out of 5) - 20 pts
- Bi-weekly journals - 30 pts
- Teaching Portfolio - 15
- Learning Portfolio - 15
- Individual Learning Project - 20
Group Work: (100 Points)
- gRATs - 45 pts
- Group Design Project - 30
- Final Group Project - 25
The total points for the Group Work were adjusted for each person in the group, by multiplying them by the Peer Evaluation score that each person received from his/her group. This Adjusted Group Component was then added to the points from the Individual Work, to create that person's Total Score for the course.

Hi Jim
TBL contributes to 20% of our overall unit (subject) score. Within this, each component is equally weighted.
So overall:
Exam 40%
Assignment 40%
TBL 20%
·
iRAT 5%
·
tRAT 5%
·
Applications 5 %
·
Peer evaluation 5%

Hi

Dean Paramlee, Larry Michaelsen, Sandy Cook, Patrica Hudes
Team-Based Learning : A practical guide
They presented a grading scheme
Article's Grading Scheme
iRAT 25%
tRAT 35%
Applications 35%
Peer Evaluation 5%
This is very different than the one we use
UBC Grading Scheme
iRAT 10%
tRAT 10%
Applications NOT GRADED
Peer Evaluation 5%
The reminder individual things like papers, problem set, midterms
#############################
What does your grading scheme look like?
