Many digital collections projects begin outside of academic institutions. The South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA), led by Michelle Caswell and Samip Mallick, began as a way for the organizers to see themselves and their community in history.

such as how many grammatical errors
This is usually seen in grading rubrics. For example, if grammatical errors is grades from a scale to 1-4, I would usually get a 3 or 3.5 because I made a few errors that affected my overall grade for an essay.

“Is this going to be on the test?”
A very common question in college.

Grades tend to diminish students’ interest in whatever they’re learning.
This is how I see some courses that have a sequence. I focus more on getting a passing grade to move on to the next sequence rather than learning about the subject of the course.

with the students and their parents.
I remember in middle school and high school letters would be sent out to our homes with our report cards. Sometimes I didn't even know it arrived until my parents opened the letter and saw my grades.
