Analysis Of Grade Variances In Multisection Calculus Classes, S. Paul Shaffer Aug 2018

Analysis Of Grade Variances In Multisection Calculus Classes, S. Paul Shaffer

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this dissertation was to explore grade variances associated with multisection calculus grades. The method for the project was quantitative examining grade distribution patterns that existed between calculus sections at a public university void of an over-arching grading policy during the case study. Results showed that different grade distribution patterns by different instructors were primarily due to student-centric characteristics. The significant findings suggest that student grades are firmly in control of students. Only when course grade averages were at the extreme did evidence suggest that instructor-centric characteristics played meaningful role in student grade determination.

Research Of Baking Properties Of Wheat Flour, G.К Tuxtamishova, D.A Mukhammadova, Z.S Habibullaev, N.X Kobilova

Bulletin of Gulistan State University

Samples of grain grown in the Republic were examined, affected by the bug-bug varying degrees. It was revealed that the hot climate of grain cultivation affected the changes in flour, the state of the carbohydrate-amylase complex and the pampered activity of amylotic enzymes

Distributive Justice And Equity In Grading: A New Instructor’S Reflections, Molly Malany Sayre Jan 2018

Distributive Justice And Equity In Grading: A New Instructor’S Reflections, Molly Malany Sayre

Molly Sayre

The author reflects upon early teaching experiences to identify a conflict between minimal distributive justice, or the distribution of goods that ensures all individuals have an acceptable level of that good (Deutsch, 1985), and grading of students’ assignments. Instead of addressing the unequal distribution of college preparedness among her students, the author’s grading reflected and potentially reinforced educational, racial, and economic inequalities. In agreement with Anastas (2010), an ethic of social justice is recommended for use in social work education. Social work educators can provide greater access to resources (e.g., the instructor’s time) for students experiencing disadvantages that affect their …

Reducing Your Time: Self-Assessment Practices That Work, Stephen Fitzmaurice Dec 2017

Reducing Your Time: Self-Assessment Practices That Work, Stephen Fitzmaurice

Stephen Fitzmaurice

This paper outlines efforts to teach critical thinking skills for students and reduce grading time. Faculty in
the educational interpreting program stopped providing direct feedback on their interpreted work and
implemented a self-assessment only system of assessment. As part of this process students were taught and
then graded on the efficacy of their self-assessment of their own interpreting work. This has fundamentally
altered program and course assessments and reduced the amount of time it takes for grading and
evaluation. Findings indicate implementing self-assessments throughout each course, improves students’
actual interpreting performance as evidenced by higher Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment
(EIPA) …
