From Frisbie and Waltman (1992)

Carey, L.M. (1988). Measuring and evaluating school learning. Newton, MA: Allyn and Bacon. Chapter 13.

The section on designing a gradebook and managing daily records is unique. There also are ample illustrations of the selection and implementation of weights.

Ebel, R. L. & Frisbie, D.A. (1991). Essentials of educational measurement (5th edition). Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall. Chapter 15.

Philosophical issues are discussed in depth and threats to the meaning of grades are considered. The standard deviation and content-based methods are illustrated.

Hills, J.R. (1981). Measurement and evaluation in the classroom (2nd edition). Columbus, OH: Bell & Howell. Chapters 14-19.

The chapter on faulty grading practices provides good background for developing a grading philosophy and plan. Broad coverage is also given to reporting methods other than grading.

Oosterhof, A.C. (1990). Classroom applications of educational measurement. Columbus, OH: Merrill. Chapters 21-22.

A helpful discussion of the sources of inconsistency in grades is given in one section and a chapter is devoted to weighting procedures for relative grading methods.
