Changing Grading Relationships in Organic Chemistry Courses through Specifications Grading

Assessing student work to assign final course letter grades has traditionally depended on points-based grading systems. This approach to grading in the college classroom is not ideal as it places emphasis on the extrinsic motivation of accumulating points rather than the intrinsic motivation of learning and meeting course learning outcomes. Specifications grading represents a new grading system that moves away from a reliance on points and has the potential to make positive changes in student learning.
