Which term refers to a system for evaluating and categorizing student performance?

• A. Standardisation
• B. Resit Policy
• C. Grading
• D. Controlled Assessment

Answer: (C)

Grading is the system that evaluates how well a student has met the learning objectives and then places that achievement into recognised categories. It takes different pieces of work and outcomes and summarises them as a grade or level, making it clear where the student stands and allowing comparisons between students. The other terms relate to different aspects of assessment: standardisation is about applying the same criteria across contexts to ensure fairness and consistency, a resit policy covers rules for retaking assessments, and controlled assessment refers to supervised tasks used as part of an evaluation. So grading best fits the description because it directly denotes the formal method of evaluating and sorting performance.
