We want to know what students know.
Differences in approaches are to meet student needs.
We are not locked into one way of thinking.
Like performance based assessment.
Looking for student mastery.
We need similar standards within departments.
We are giving less or no HW.

One ideal word for our grading policy: fluid or flexible
