Adapting an Exam Classification Framework Beyond Calculus
Page: 980
This paper reports a methods-building project that seeks to make inferences about mathematics instructors’ teaching practices from their exams. We adapt and revise a framework by Tallman et al. (2016) and expand its applicability across the undergraduate curriculum, beginning with a sample of seven exams from early-career mathematics instructors. We describe the rationale for the adaptation process and patterns of differences between exam sets. Future work includes coordinating this analysis with results from other data sets from the same instructors.
