Abstract
This essay presents and defends a triage theory of grading: Any item to be graded should get full credit if it is clearly or substantially correct, minimal credit if it is clearly or substantially incorrect, and partial credit if and only if it is neither of the above; no other (intermediate) grades should be given. Other issues discussed include grading on a curve, the subjectivity of grading, and reasons for and against grading.
