AB  - Student engagement is critical for achieving positive academic and social outcomes, yet maintaining high engagement levels in challenging math-based courses like numerical methods can be difficult. This study addresses this challenge by implementing two assessment-based strategies: a bonus point self-assessment rubric and peer evaluations. These interventions aim to incentivize engagement and reward essential skills such as effort and teamwork, which are often overlooked by traditional grading systems but are crucial for success beyond the classroom. The effectiveness of these strategies was evaluated by comparing student engagement levels in this course to those in other courses. Results indicate that for many students these alternative grading practices fostered active participation, reduced anxiety, and enhanced overall learning experiences, offering valuable insights into improving student engagement in challenging academic contexts.
