Faye;  I come from a health care discipline "Nursing"  and we faced the same issue with grading sclaes and grade inflation.  We got all of our Program Directors together and voted to have a grading scale where 80% of the course grade would come from exams, i.e. mid-term, final, quizzes,  Participation is a given and all ofthose points and percentages go to class assignments which must be turned in.

Nina;  Good luck with your future teaching assignments.  I hope you share any great strategies that you discover as you embark on your teaching journey with us!!
