Abstract

This paper provides a discussion of self-grading of examinations by students as an alternative to the traditional approach to the examination grading process. The possible benefits to be derived from this approach are presented. Some potential limitations are also addressed. An overview of procedures utilized in a successful implementation of the self-grading approach is presented, including the penalty structure and audit procedures employed to promote compliance with the self-grading format
