| Title of Talk | Standards-based Specifications Grading in First-Year Calculus |
| Abstract | After growing frustrated with the challenges of traditional, points-based grading in my calculus courses, I implemented a model I describe as standards-based specifications grading in my Calculus II class in Spring 2019 and my Calculus I class in Fall 2019. This model allows students repeated opportunities to demonstrate proficiency on critical aspects of the course and expects completely correct student work. Students are also given a choice of other assignments to do beyond test-type questions in order to earn their desired course grade. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of my experience and share some student feedback on this successful project. |
