grading procedures, their effects upon students, and their dubious external validity as indicators of future performance. These studies and criticisms are all based upon grading systems that involve individually competitive performance on a few narrowly defined tasks, where the tasks are evaluated by ill-defined or arbitrary (curving) standards. In view of these criticisms, a variation on the contract system was devised, a menu from which the students select the types of assignments they wish to attempt. The system allows one to stratify requirements in accord with varying skill or experience levels of the students. It better allows the faculty member to focus upon the evaluative aspects of grading, rather than the grade itself
