Although thesemethods vary, four pillars for alternative grading were developed to describe the key elementsthat are common across alternative grading strategies. These pillars include clearly definedstandards, helpful feedback, marks indicating progress, and reassessment without penalty

The initial tier–deemed the usability and systems tier–was drawn from the worldof systems engineering and inspired by the well-traveled System Usability Scale (SUS)developed by John Brooks [7] in the late 1980s. The SUS model, composed of relativelystraightforward Likert scale questions, invites system users to evaluate elements of the‘user-experience’, such as a user’s ability to onboard into a system easily, a system’s easeof use once novice users are onboarded, and basic system
