the assigned percentage, 10 points are allocated for attendance and 20 points for in-class/field/lab participation. In the detailed course syllabus, it is explicitly stated that the interaction with the instructor and participation in class/field/lab, and in teamwork if assigned, is expected, and is considered an important part of this course. This participation is measured via online log files, where students record the number of scans completed, cleaned, stitched, or processed otherwise in each class. Additionally, these files assist subsequent groups of students in knowing the tasks already completed and recognizing the ones that are to be started at each new meeting. This continuous record motivates

threeunexcused absences. While these policies are not unreasonable, they tend to motivate students toparticipate in these activities. We recommend similar policies adapted to your courses toincentivize students (e.g., those who benefit from more guiding structure or who are tempted toprocrastinate) to stay engaged and not fall behind.Observations and Tips: This is a very different grading structure that many students are notfamiliar with, so it is helpful to review the grading structure and the retesting process more thanonce (e.g., after the first testing session when they may have more motivation to understand thestructure than on the first day of class when the syllabus was presented). In the end, we didn’timpose grade deductions if a student gave a

.).At the same time, many courses have a list of student learning outcomes or course objectives,often presented in the syllabus. These are used for program assessment, for ensuring consistencyacross instructors and over time, and for informing students of the overall course goals.Frequently, however, there is not a direct connection between the learning outcomes and the“points” earned in the course. For example, partial credit relevant to one outcome might becombined with full credit on another, masking whether a student actually met all outcomes (orwhich ones were met). “Extra credit” points for participation can further cloud this. Likewise,high scores (for example) on a hands-on, laboratory portion can mask shortcomings in otheraspects such

Researchersused common search engines to search for “introduction to engineering” and similar terms. Whensuch a course was identified, an additional search for the course syllabus was completed.
