Gradeerittelyyn

Gradeerittelyyn is a Finnish term referring to the practice or document that describes grading criteria and performance levels used in the assessment of student work or other evaluative tasks. In educational contexts, gradeerittelyyn provides a rubric or scoring guide that defines what constitutes each grade level, how different aspects of an assignment are weighted, and what evidence is expected from the submitter. The purpose is to increase transparency, consistency, and fairness in grading, and to offer actionable feedback for learners.

A gradeerittelyyn typically includes alignment with learning outcomes, clearly stated criteria, and descriptors for each level of performance (for example, numerical or letter grades). It also specifies weighting, required evidence, illustrative exemplars, scoring rules, and procedures for addressing borderline cases or appeals. The document may also outline administration details such as submission timing, calibration requirements for evaluators, and how to handle accommodations.

Development is usually led by instructors or assessment committees, with input from students or external stakeholders when appropriate. It is often revised over time in response to feedback and changes in learning objectives. In practice, gradeerittelyyn is closely related to the broader concept of rubrics or scoring guides; in some contexts it is used interchangeably with these terms. Its use is common in coursework, exams, capstone projects, and other formal assessments, and may be integrated into learning management systems.
