Alternative scoring methods in collegiate mathematics courses
Page: 1156
This poster presentation will highlight the results of a qualitative, multicase study which explored the use of alternative scoring practices in collegiate mathematics classes. Specifically, the researchers explored the use of two different scoring practices: one in an entry-level College Algebra course and one in an upper-level Modern Geometry course. In addition to classroom observations, data collection for each case consisted of two interviews for each course instructor, one interview with each course designer, and interviews with students in each course. This poster presentation will detail themes from cross case analysis which suggest important details for successful implementation of alternative scoring practices in collegiate mathematics courses.
