This research study focused on grading methods, more specifically Un-grading which can be implemented in a variety of ways. Students and instructors from three different courses utilizing this method were interviewed and the results of the benefits and drawbacks are highlighted in this paper. This study offers suggestions for improving the current 0-100 grading scale utilized in most education communities and elements of traditional grading that could be applied to Un-grading. The results of this study suggest Un-grading has a variety of benefits over traditional grading scales but has improvements to be implemented to increase the effectiveness.
