An alternative to traditional GPA for evaluating student performance Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In response to the growing problem of grade ination in American undergraduate institutions, alternatives to GPA and GPA-based student assessment are discussed. One alternative summary, based on a Bayesian latent trait formulation, eliminates many of the inequities associated with GPA-based measures and has been proposed as a replacement for GPA-based class ranks at Duke University. 1997 Applied Probability Trust.
