@Kingevo I teach at a university, and may share our observations on school, and university, grading.

For almost 8 years I taught maths at a technical university in Singapore - the place considered by some the pinnacle of school maths. The latter is very far from being correct - Singapore edicates its best school leavers abroad, with massive scholarship programs for these who can't afford full fees in a top US or UK university. Leftovers (and a lot of other SE Asia school leavers) enter local universities. And, gosh, they really, really need a grade detox, for they have been graded to total brain damage and death by the supposedly superior system, with all the natural curiosity and ability to question beaten out...

In Oxford, where I ended up afterwards, grading is very mild - you can, potentially, almost sleep through terms, and do exams, few questions asked. That is, very little continuous assessment (CA). Why? Because CA leads to homework copying, and other sorts of cheating. That is to say, homework is not graded - it's marked and given to the students as feedback, as they get through courses.
Marking is taken very seriously, and is extremely time-consuming etc.

OK, I stop here, please feel free to ask more.
