Standards Based Grading in a First Proofs Course
نویسنده
چکیده
Standards-based grading, in which grading should be designed to communicate to students their current level of mastery with regards to well-articulated standards, is becoming popular at the K-12 level. As yet, the literature addressing standards-based grading at the university level is scarce. In this paper, I document my attempts to put into practice the principles of standards based grading in a lower-level undergraduate mathematics course which aims to introduce mathematical proof.

Standards-Based Grading in a Thermodynamics Course
Standards based grading is a formal assessment mechanism that tests for student achievement of specified learning objectives, or standards. Standards-Based-Grading has been gaining in popularity in K-12 education, and also has been seeing increased use in higher education, though it has only recently been used in engineering education. This paper describes how StandardsBased Grading was impleme...

Introduction: A variety of educational strategies appropriate for medical student learning have been introduced. Problem- based learning is a major, complex and widespread strategy in medical education, especially in basic science education. In the SPICES model PBL is presented as continuums (from information oriented learning to problem-based learning). In this study, we developed a questionna...
متن کاملFive Obstacles to Grading Reform
Education improvement efforts over the past two decades have focused primarily on articulating standards for student learning, refining the way we assess students' proficiency on those standards, and tying results to accountability. The one element still unaligned with these reforms is grading and reporting. Student report cards today look much like they looked a century ago, listing a single g...
متن کاملDo High Grading Standards Affect Student Performance?
20 This paper explores the effects of high grading standards on student test performance in 21 elementary school. While high standards have been advocated by policy-makers, business 22 groups, and teacher unions, very little is known about their effects on outcomes. Most of the 23 existing research on standards is theoretical, generally finding that standards have mixed 24 effects on students. ...
متن کاملA Rigorous Approach to Teaching Access Control
Access control is central to any study of security. Verifying that access control is correctly implemented is essential but difficult, because meaningful verification requires formal derivations and proofs. We present an approach to teaching access control using an access-control logic based on modal logic. Students use the logic to formally describe and analyze a variety of access-control scen...
