—Jay Parkes

Stop and say, “Why does this bother me?” and usually the answer to that is … something a little deeper than that particular student.
—Jay Parkes

How does extra credit really support their mastery of learning objectives?
—Dawn Zimmaro

If we’re really focused on the academic welfare of the student then our assessment activity should primarily be focused on promoting learning.
