Do the grades go any lower than this? Are we dealing with a percentage of work completion in order to figure out these grades?

Janet deVryArticle about a class "Your Brain on the Internet." Uses peer evaluation and revisions in WordPress. Better at spin than substance

Jennifer Garcia"Grading itself will be by contract: Do all the work (and there is a lot of work), and you get an A. Don't need an A? Don't have time to do all the work? No problem. You can aim for and earn a B. There will be a chart. You do the assignment satisfactorily, you get the points. Add up the points, there's your grade. Clearcut. No guesswork. No second-guessing 'what the prof wants.' No gaming the system. Clearcut. Student is responsible. "

Priscilla StadlerPretty interesting: students grade themselves and each other

My colleagues and I at the University of Maine have pursued a similar course with The Pool, an online environment for sharing art and code that invites students to evaluate each other at various stages of their projects, from intent to approach to release.

Like Slashdot's karma system, The Pool entrusts students who have contributed good work in the past with greater power to rate other students. In general students at U-Me have responded responsibly to this ethic; it may help that students are sometimes asked to evaluate students in other classes,

Alan LevineSo, this year, when I teach "This Is Your Brain on the Internet," I'm trying out a new point system. Do all the work, you get an A. Don't need an A? Don't have time to do all the work? No problem. You can aim for and earn a B. No gaming the system.

Nate KoganInteresting model for assigning grades via crowdsourcing model. Seems to fit with the desire to make class less teacher-centric and emphasis accountability on the part of the students.

they can now also read all the class blogs (as they used to) and pass judgment on whether they are satisfactory.

I can see this working at the college level, but what about at HS? Will this approach be widely accepted by the various constituencies at the secondary level?

I am using a model similar to this at the high school level. each student will have their own blog and part of their assessment will be to critically examine their peers work. It can be done but they must be taught the skills to properly examine work or it will not be as successful.
