However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion. Awarding “partial credit” is time-consuming and oftenis not closely mapped to learning objectives [1]. As a result, students often focus on how manypoints they earned relative to their perceived level of effort
