Grading

[Estevez7]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a grading scales for quizzes and tests for LC1 & Prima?

I have this exact same question!! Could someone help? Guidelines for grading LCI tests/quizzes please

When I was teaching, I finally settled on 2 points per vocab. word & Latin saying (1 for the word/saying and 1 for the spelling). This helped the students who were notoriously bad spellers to at least get credit for knowing the words.

Then, I gave 1 pt. for each word in the grammar forms (conjugations & declensions). That was 1/2 pt. for the correct stem and 1/2 pt. for the correct ending. So if a student spelled all the stems wrong but got all the endings right, he got credit for the correct endings.

When the Latin got more complicated and the students were being tested on translation (which does not happen in Prima or LCI), I was more lenient. Translation is very difficult, and I did not let it bring a test grade down if the student knew all the vocab. and grammar forms because that is where we want student success to be at the grammar stage of Latin study.

I hope this is helpful!
