Abstract Grading practices have been identified as one of the main culprits in persistence equity gaps. Traditional grading methods can be inequitable, ineffective, and even damaging. The CLIMB-UP project (EHR: IUSE/HSI) aims to improve institutional capacity teaching learning by utilizing Mastery-Based (MBG) key sophomore courses (i.e., Statics, Strengths Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics, Embedded Systems) at three very-high enrolling Hispanic-Serving Institutions. is a three-year...
Abstract Students (like all people) have elements of both growth and fixed mindsets. We studied shifts in types student mindsets over three one-semester courses. found no significant change students' mindset at the beginning semester compared to end semester.

Abstract What do most engineering and computing classrooms have in common? Almost all classes, both the K-12 educational system as well higher ed world, use some form of a points-and-percentages based grading to "measure" student learning give final "grade" either letter grade or pass/fail mark. In this presentation, we will explore destructive nature traditional method including: • The misuse mathematics points, percentages, averages historical development system, built part reflect social...
