Anonymous poster: I respectfully disagree with you that this post suggests that I'm allowing my grades to influence my grading.
It's perfectly normal for "A" writers who submit incomplete or rough porfolios to receive a grade of B+. They do not deserve an A simply because they are articulate and smart: they have to do all the work to earn a high grade.
My post simply points out that the process of reviewing these four porfolios provided me with some perspective on how I earned my own B+.
Which is to say that, while it might be possible to misread my earlier, more concise post as suggesting that my grades influence my grading, that certainly is not what happens.
However, from a long-term perspective, I'd also like to pose the alternate argument: our grades are _always_ influenced by the way that we have been graded.
Having attended a small liberal arts college grounded in independent study, I am less likely to place tremendous importance on grades (my grades or my students). Our personal experiences certainly influence our practices: this is especially true with the qualitative and implicit practice of "grading", where there is no universal definition of what each grade represents.
and Neal: if that was you, I am coming to to your house and beat you up. I thought that Anon was like Marback or Jeff or something. Scared the hell out of me. Like I needed that. Good job.
