grading
Marking student papers
Grading is the act of assigning grades or ratings to evaluate quality, performance, or rank.
Teachers grade student work; inspectors grade meat or produce.
Grading also means leveling or smoothing a surface: The crew finished grading the lot before construction began.
In construction and landscaping, grading ensures proper drainage and foundation stability.
