<p>I'm looking for colleges that assess their students' work by means of narrative evaluations as opposed to traditional grades. I know of Hampshire and New College of Florida. Are there others?</p>
<p>Evergreen in Washington State may do this. You might want to check it out.</p>
<p>Sarah Lawrence College (well, they do have grades, but like Reed you receive the evaluations and have to request to see the grades)</p>
<p>St. John's, I think?</p>
<p>Bennington only gives grades if you request them.</p>
<p>like at Reed.</p>
<p>Brown students have the option of taking any or all classes pass-fail, and of requesting a written narrative evaluation in lieu of a grade. When D & I visited Brown they told us about a recent student who had elected to take every class in her four years there with a narrative evaluation. Her transcript was something like 140 pages long, if I recall correctly. They claim she got into Harvard Medical School.</p>
<p>^^ </p>
<p>That's amazing. It would nice if a more colleges/universities did such a thing.</p>
<p>University of California, Santa Cruz.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Really?! That's cool.</p>
<p>^they used to, but they give regular grades now</p>
