Chapter 10 gives the reader two types of ratings processes that can be used to assess grades. They are average ratings and pattern of ratings. The average ratings process gives more accurate information when converting rubric scores to grades. There are several advantages of using the average ratings process. When I have a set rubric average, this process will allow me to easily determine the grade conversion and the percentage conversion. I will eventually try the pattern of ratings process but I feel that I will not enjoy it as much as the average ratings process. The chart on page 347 is very helpful and I feel that I will be able to use it often in my classroom next school year. ** Logical grade Conversion Table for Average Ratings **
