This was a stimulating read on something I had not researched. I got a lot of ideas for implementation but I do wonder about institutional consequences: the author makes no bones that this is about increasing rigor. If one faculty uses this system, won't students run to the "easy" sections where one can scrap enough partial credit to get by. Nevertheless, this book will get you to reconsider your entire grading schemes and assignments. As I said, very stimulating.

A compelling case for shifting one’s grading scheme to specifications grading as it will make it easier for faculty to set higher expectations, give students choices and responsibility for their own learning, and save time because not everything needs to be graded and haggling over points is no longer needed. The evidence and examples also make this book convincing. I cannot help but wonder, though, how students who lack confidence or experience would fare in this system.

This book definitely made me rethink at least some of the ways that I currently grade my students. Grade grubbing is one of the worst things I have to deal with by students. I don't know if I would implement full-on specs grading, but being more specific about what I want and ending partial credit sounds like something I will definitely get behind.

Creating Self-regulated Learners: Strategies to Strengthen Students’ Self-Awareness and Learning Skills, Linda Nilson
What are self-regulated learners anyway? With the explosion of knowledge, Linda Nilson emphasizes that our role as teachers must evolve into helping students become lifelong learners. The role of content, while still essential, is not enough. As faculty, we are professional learners, but how do we teach our process to students? Nilson creates a compelling argument that we need to consciously construct opportunities for our students to become intentional, independent and self-directed learners. This very practical book is full of concrete suggestions for how to help students integrate a sequenced series of practices that will help them understand how to take responsibility for their own learning.… (mere)
