Inflation of the Grading System in American Learning Institutions Compared to European Institutions

INSTRUCTIONS:

Topic: Grades - In some European schools, fewer than 10% of students get As. Is there grade inflation in the U.S.? Why so many As for Americans?. This is the topic of my upcoming research paper, I just need to get 5 sources for this topic, and I have attached some files for more information.

 

LIBRARY ASSIGNMENT:

1) Using the JSTOR and Muse databases, as well as the many books available in the library, collect a MINIMUM of five scholarly sources on your chosen topic to fuel your research papers.  When you have located and studied the resources, and have chosen at least five which could be potentially useful to you, make a Works Cited page, using perfect MLA formatting. Hint: use KnightCite or another citation generator.                                                                                               

 

2) Under each entry, describe the thesis or basic arguments of the source, and which parts specifically might be useful to your paper. Cite page numbers and/or paragraphs which you will want to use later. One to two paragraphs should be sufficient.

 

3) In view of where your early research has taken you, refine your topic choice and write your thesis statement as it would appear in your paper.

 

Remember:  abortion, capital punishment, gay marriage, and the president are OFF the table!

This suggests the need to implement educational reforms to make American education more valuable both domestically and internationally. This paper provides an annotated bibliography of previous studies and published articles that address this issue.Barron`s Educational Series, Inc. Profiles of American Colleges 2013. New York:Barrons Educational Series, Inc. 2014. Print.This article provides a list of American colleges that do not administer standard tests before admitting students. It labels such colleges “test optional” or “test flexible” because they do not emphasize the use of standard tests before accepting high school graduates seeking college admission (Barron`s Educational Series 1). The author suggest that the failure to use SAT and ACT tests when admitting high school graduates is the first sign of the flexible gradin...
