Regular feedback with concrete guidelines and recommendations (both written and oral) is better than a final grade in supporting the learning process. Such a system guarantees fast and precise information sharing with the student. Children have to know immediately which parts of their performance were good, which need improvement and what to do in order to fare better next time.

Giving the student a final grade that cannot be changed, on the other hand, gives the opposite effect. Both adults and children will treat it as a closed case which is no longer worth taking care of.
