Abstract: Specifications grading is a relatively new paradigm of grading that addresses several flaws in the traditional weighted-average grading scheme that relies on partial credit. Specifications grading was made popular in Linda Nilson’s 2014 book, “Specifications Grading: Restoring Rigor, Motivating Students, and Saving Faculty Time.” In this talk, I will describe my implementation of specifications grading into college-level mathematics courses. I will also show other examples of using specifications grading from courses that involve projects and assignments that have students working together.
