AN AID IN GRADING PAPERS IN ACCOUNTING.
Probably no task confronting the instructor is more irksome or trying than that of grading papers; yet it constitutes a very important part of his work, and to a certain extent determines his success as a teacher. The objectives in the grading of papers, problems, and books may be summed up as follows, rating a student's work; pointing out errors and seeing that they are not repeated; and finding students weaknesses. The purpose of the article is to present a suggestion that have been helpful in dealing with the second and third points. It has often been laborious to write out all the corrections on a paper, and, in a good many cases, not effective when it is done, because many students do not look at papers which are returned, especially when they have passing grades on them. The form following provides a means of making a large number of corrections and suggestions with the minimum of effort, and in such a way that the student is almost forced to take cognizance of them. The form need not be confined to first year students, as the principles apply throughout the accounting courses, and with some changes and additions can be readily adapted to advanced work.
