Risks
- You don’t fatten a pig by weighing it!
- Some students become discouraged or demoralised,
others complacent
- The progress grades are inaccurate – not based on
robust evidence
- The grade is just a number – students do not know
why they have been given it or how to improve

How can tutors use this information with their
forms?
- Students can do better than their target grades
- Students can do worse than their target grades
- Their aim is to beat their target grade in every piece
of marked work and progress grade reported

2. How good are the targets? (SMART, Worthwhile?)
3. How will you follow up and check on targets?
