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
