Iron Range Engineering Grading Scale

Today we were given a draft grading scale for rating our performance in class. This grading scale will be able to give us number value, which will be representative of our grade in that area. The grading scale is a one through ten scale, with six being work ready. As you move up on the scale, you will be required to show more evidence of competence and experience in an area. This scale will cover both technical and professional skills.

This scale is base up Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Development.

1. Knowledge: memorization of facts, do not know why facts are important.

2. Comprehension: understand importance and meaning of facts

3. Application: use comprehension and knowledge to solve simple problems, can do Fundamental Engineering problems. There are two levels of application.

4. Analysis: able to break down a problem into its constituent parts, can perform analysis. There are two levels of analysis.

5. Synthesis: creatively develop a whole from various parts – results might be patentable, ranges rudimentary ideas at the low end to patentable items at the high end. There are three levels to synthesis.

7. Evaluation: make quality judgments concerning creative works, seen as the go to person.
