Talk:Narrative evaluation

Latest comment: 6 years ago by 80.189.240.19

Have removed St. John's College from the list of colleges that use narrative evaluations. "Narrative evaluation" is not a catchall term for non-grade-based evaluation; it is not synonymous with "oral evaluation". St. John's does not keep a record of the Don Rags (formal oral evaluations); all external institutions see are for formal letter grade/GPA's. The oral evaluations play no role in transcripts, etc., and are only formally distinct from the spoken encouragement or criticism one might receive from a professor at a more standard college.

Oxford is incorrect. At the end of each term, at Dean's Collections, a report by the tutor is read out. This is done on a college-by-college basis. However, for the Public Examinations (which are University-wide and do not occur every term), only a classification (which isn't a letter) and a mark is issued. 80.189.240.19 (talk) 21:10, 22 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
