Sciences IB grade calculations explained.

So again why IB standards-based grading to be transparent, consistent, fair, and inclusive.

The Science assessment criteria Again the scores 1-8. Criterion A is knowing and understanding, B is inquiring in designing, C is processing in evaluating and D is reflecting on the impacts of science.

For each criterion a final score is determined by patterns in the data that could either be the most consistent score the mode or the average the mean and this is an example of a student A and student B of how we arrived at those criterion finals.

And then we'll go through each criteria, for each criterion will arrive at a final score will add those together and divide by 4. In this example we have 1, 1, 1 in one with two so we get a 5 divide that by 4 and that's a 1.25 and that is a letter grade of an E which is unacceptable and that is work of very limited quality conveys many significant misunderstandings or lack of understanding most concepts so that is something that would very much need to be addressed. Because our goal is that everyone every student can get to an A with producing high-quality frequently, innovative work that's a lot of work for us all to do but that's exactly what we want to thank you.
