After the read through, the cast will have a better idea of what their character is like and whothey will be interacting with on stage, while the crew will have a clearer idea of what it is expectedof them. Each theatre practitioner working on the production will continue to work on their partsuntil next rehearsal. A rehearsal that is conducted early on is the stumble through.

be measured, overall course grades do not carryenough resolution to provide a precise determination. For example, a student may earn a grade ofA in a course, but may still not have grasped and mastered a particular concept. In order tomeasure learning of a particular concept, student performance regarding that one concept mustbe probed. This often entails ‘embedding’ questions and problems that are carefully tailored toprobe critical thinking skills pertaining to the concept of interest, and grading and compilingthese results individually.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) defines assessment as: “oneor more processes that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the attainment of studentoutcomes and program

terms of the SMART evaluation approach.In terms of grading, in the mastering rubric the categories were scored 0, 5, 25, 30 out of 30,respectively. In the traditional partial credit approach, scores had a relatively wide range.Students in category a) could receive 90% if they missed a single force and did everything elsecorrectly. Only students in categories c) could score as high as 95% and d) students wereawarded 100%.Table 2 shows student performance for the two sections. In section A (traditional approach),only 48.2% of the students were able to correctly draw the FBKD and 27.1% demonstrated fullproblem competency (categories c and d). In Section B (SMART approach), 95.5% of studentscorrectly drew the FBKD and 68.5% of students were able to

Overall, students reported agreat deal of confidence in their academic abilities with the average for each term above 4 (on a5-point scale). Students believed that they would learn if they tried, worked hard, and did notgive up. They also believed that they could master the skills and figure out the most difficultclass work.Goals in Math: While all goals were important to them, students believed that getting a goodgrade was most important.

the needs, and therefore the difficulty, of problems they have not mastered,and, perhaps most importantly, vary in their confidence of their own skills.Second, the student’s difficulty scores and the algorithm’s scores were almost always within onepoint of each other. This might suggest that the algorithm’s heuristic is quite accurate in itsestimate of difficulty. However, this may also represent a type of order bias or grouping bias.Students were not given the four problems in order of increasing or decreasing difficulty, butthey all did seem to conclude that the four problems spanned the spectrum between easy at oneand difficult at 10. It may then be obvious to students which problems were easier and whichwere more difficult, narrowing the

Smith and Osborn [14, pp. 68] detail this process, noting “the skillat this stage is finding expressions which are high level enough to allow theoretical connectionswithin and across cases but which are still grounded in the particularity of the specific thingsaid”. After coding the interview, the research team grouped similar and redundant codes intolarger themes. The coding and grouping process was then repeated for the 2018 and 2017 datasets, adding codes to the existing themes when appropriate and creating new themes whennecessary. This process led to a master document of compiled themes and some outliers. Theresearch team continued

(50-minute) computerized exams are run every two weeks,students are given immediate feedback on their exam performance, and optional second-chanceexams are offered in the off weeks. Frequent, low-stakes exams along with second-chance examsencourage students to keep up with and master the course material, leading to better final examoutcomes 20 .Three characteristics of our computerized testing center are key to improving assessment for bothstudents and faculty. First, by running the exams on computers, we can write complex, authentic(e.g., numeric, programming, graphical, design) questions that are auto-gradable, enabling animmediate feedback and a reduction in grading load. Second, rather than write individualquestions, we write question
