Testing and Grading

Quizzes, Tests, and Exams offers a compendium of strategies to "enhance your ability to design tests that are effective in motivating, measuring, and reinforcing learning."

Grading Practices - a chapter from Tools for Teaching - offers suggestions to help instructors develop clear and fair grading policies.

Testing and Grading
Section five of Stanford University's teaching handbook (pdf file) offers a fairly comprehensive section on testing and grading, including an exam and grading checklist.
