Quantitative Grading Development
- When
- 1792
- Where
- University of Cambridge
Tutor William Farish developed the concept of grading students' work quantitatively at the University of Cambridge in 1792.
The supplied passages support the development of quantitative grading by William Farish in 1792. They do not confirm that this constituted the first written examinations in Europe or that a specific examination event occurred on a particular date. The legacy claim of 'first written examinations' is an unsupported inference.
