<p>It seems like every math course has something unique in how things are graded. </p>
<p>1) What are some interesting grading systems you have seen/used? (include curving types, etc.)</p>
<p>2) What are some pros and cons to this particular system? </p>
<p>3) Would you use it again if you have used it yourself?</p>
<p>One system for grading a final exam that I recently came across was <a href="http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~kpurbhoo/co630/pageonefinal.pdf" rel="nofollow">this</a>.</p>
