Moreover, the scenario-based videos were limited in scope toa single course in a single engineering discipline which restricted their overall utility across thecurriculum. Recent observations by the authors and input from current undergraduate studentsidentified new scenarios that needed to be addressed, including cheating in laboratory courses,cheating in project-based courses, and cheating on exams. Student Conduct professionals furtheroffered suggestions on the commentary provided by the video’s narrator to establish context forthe scenarios. This work in progress presents the updated set of

The IDI has been used widely for research, training, andevaluation purposes in the international education field, including in large-scale national studieslike the Georgetown Consortium Project [12] and multiple engineering education studies [8-9].Another class of “hybrid” instruments purport to combine the compositional and developmentalapproaches.

Allocatingpoints consistently for partially correct work is a constant struggle and leaves something to bedesired. The lines between different grades certainly become grayed, and it seems possible that astudent can receive a passing grade in a course without ever answering a single problemcorrectly. Specification grading is a novel approach to grading that provides solutions to some ofthe common frustrations with traditional grading.
