This paper describes the results of an classroom experiment in which holistic grading was used to evaluate engineering student writing. We first review the concept of holistic grading as it has been developed by professional writing instructors, and then describe the scoring scheme we developed and how we applied it in class. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of holistic writing and share feedback from students who participated in our experiment.
