Supplementing Standards with Engagement Points

I wrote a guest post for the Grading for Growth blog on the Engagement Points I use in my intro-level courses. If you are an instructor in higher education, I highly recommend following this blog, especially if you are interested in alternative grading.

If you are a student, much of the blog is written about you rather than for you, but maybe this behind-the-scenes peek into my process is useful. As I write this post, there are big conversations about math education and higher education that have instructors thinking about making changes to their course structure. Instructors and students should be in conversation with one another as we experiment. If you are a student with thoughts about Engagement Points or other alternative grading practices, I encourage you to leave a comment on the Grading for Growth blog!
