studentshave become quite expert in accumulating the points needed for the grade they desire at theexpense of their learning and development as engineers. We observed students who desire a B,only doing the exact amount of work needed for the B and no more. Tragically leaving criticallearning “on the table.” Students who desired only a C, knowing that if only 70% of mastery isrequired for their goal, they would put forth only that effort. Obviously, this is not a summary orjudgement of all students. These were observations that spurred our investigation into alternativegrading philosophies that could ameliorate these conditions while providing the gains inengineering formation we desired in our students.
