    • Megan's ESRN grading scale (based on Robert Talbert’s EMRN scale):

      • E: Excellent 
        • Student’s submission goes beyond satisfactory requirements in a measurable way
        • I provide examples of what that could look like (including additional skills in a project, going deeper into a topic, etc - it depends on what the assessment and standards/outcomes are)
        • S: Satisfactory
          • Student’s submission meets the standards/requirements
          • Revision is optional 
          • R: Revise
            • Some part of the submission doesn’t meet the requirements yet
            • Revision is required
            • N: Not Accessable
              • The submission can’t be assessed for some reason (it’s not submitted, it’s not shared correctly, it’s missing a section, etc)
              • Revision is required
