Holistic grading

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Standards based tests use holistic grading to establish scoring of a paper. It can also be used to assess classroom based work. Rather than counting errors, a paper is judged holistically if it has too many or too few errors to merit a 1, 2 or 3, compared to an anchor paper, or if it meets a writing standard.
