‟Using Specifications Grading in a Transition Math Course.” by Jeff Hildebrand <jhildebr@ggc.edu>, Georgia Gwinnett College

Abstract:

A course to introduce mathematics majors to upper level mathematics courses requires the students to develop familiarity with and the ability to use many mathematical tools. Because of this, the course lends itself to the use of specifications grading. This talk will discuss one attempt to implement this method of grading and describes some of the benefits and the drawbacks found will teaching the courses with this approach.
