based on average test scoreswith partial credit. In my implementation, the course topics were grouped into categoriescorresponding to grade levels D, C, B, and A. Each category has 3-5 topics [D1-D5, C1-C4, B1-B3, and A1-A3], and the corresponding grade is earned if a short test for each topic (or in somecases, a pair of topics) in the category is “Approved”. A grade of Approved is earned fordemonstrating A-quality work (only minor errors permitted). A grade of “ConditionallyApproved” is earned for demonstrating B-quality work, with full approval being earned throughwriting corrections. A grade of “Not Yet Approved” is assigned for demonstrating C or lowerquality work, with full approval requiring another test of the same topic to be taken. In

andstyles, but there was no attempt to unify any of the classes. The primary point of similarity wasthat all the surveys and exam questions administered in this study were the same and were madetogether. All the exam questions were presented in a multiple-choice format to reflect the mostcommon method of questioning on the FE exam.University A required students to take the FE exam and students were reimbursed for the examcost if they passed. At University A, most senior students (approximately 75% or more per year)in civil engineering take the FE review course and depend on it as their sole source ofpreparation for the exam. Universities B and C strongly encouraged students to attempt the FEexam prior to graduation. At University B, review sessions

), a weighted system familiar to many in higher education. The two primaryvariants are the `straight’ scale (i.e. A, B, C, D, F) and the somewhat more granular `plus/minus’scale (i.e. A+, A, A-, B+, etc.), both used widely. Despite research on cumulative GPAs, gradeinflation, and academic performance, there is a dearth of research correlating grading systemsdirectly to students’ passion, interest, or motivation toward their coursework.In this work, we consider another GPA system using a continuous scale in which students’numerical course grade (0-100%) would map directly to their course GPA (0-4). The approachallows the GPA to provide infinite grade differentiation among peers. No prior literature hasconsidered student attitudes about such a

latter group was found to have higher finalexam grades implying greater improvement.Juhler et al. [7] examined the test and retest scores for 1,314 students who completed anintermediate algebra course. For each of seven chapter tests, if the student achieved less than a Bgrade, they could opt to take a retake. The score on the retake replaced the original test score,regardless of whether it was an improvement, but was limited to a B grade. On average, studentswere eligible to take 5.30 retakes and opted to take 2.31 retakes. The majority (88-95%) ofstudents who took the retake improved their score. However, there was no significant correlationbetween the number of retakes and the final exam score.Abraham [8] offered 150 students in intuitive

Rod AC’s other end is attached to a fixed support. Starting with AC making an angle of 30° with the horizontal surface, a downward vertical force F is applied at C. Students determine the maximum vertical force F for which equilibrium is maintained.
