| Abstract | Results from a survey of U.S. economics faculty (816 responses) indicate the extent to which grades are emphasised in their classes. We measure learning- and grade-orientations and relate our findings to empirical research in economics and educational psychology. We find agreement among economics faculty on a broad range of grade-oriented attitudes and behaviours. We note differences between views of economics faculty and empirical research on several key topics. Free-form comments indicate a concern with grade distributions, the influence of grades on student evaluations of teaching, and grade inflation. |
