We're finally seeing some results from all the work that this community has been putting in! In this episode, Sharona and Bosley dive in to newly published research about the impact of "second-chance quizzes" on students' perceptions of self-determination. We also dive in to the impact of retakes on student success in Precalculus.
Additionally, registration, volunteer opportunities, and abstract submissions are all available for the 2025 Grading Conference!
