<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 70300, member: 112&quot;]Well I&#039;ll agree - when dealing with mathematics, computers do produce exact numbers - except when they don&#039;t of course. No I&#039;m not being funny - but which one of us here, or anywhere for that matter, can say that we haven&#039;t seen computers screw up ? But let&#039;s assume for a second that they don&#039;t ever screw up. Which takes me back to my original question - are all grades equal ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I think that just about all of us have to agree that they are not - and in my opinion therein lies the problem. Not only with the grading system we have, but with the potential for computer grading as well. For no computer can do anything except that which a human tells it to do. So when our own minds, which are much more advanced than any computer there is or ever will be, cannot do something - how do we input the data to tell a computer to do it ? </p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;ve already tried computer grading twice - it failed miserably both times. Don&#039;t get me wrong - I&#039;m not against the idea. I&#039;d be strongly in favor of it - if it would work. But I don&#039;t believe it ever will. And until I change my mind on that - I&#039;ll promote the acceptance and use of 1 consistent and static grading standard instead&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
