In a recent IJSOTL article, Adriana Streifer, Jessica Taggart, and I examined students’ predicted and actual experiences of specifications grading in courses across several disciplines at a research-intensive, public university in the United States. Two key conclusions: 1. The attitudes and approaches to learning that instructors typically wish to see in their students are the same as the reasons students provide for appreciating specs grading and recommending it to their peers. 2. Specs grading is likely to decrease common challenges and tensions in student–instructor relationships. Recommendations for practice are included.

According to the NAEP data, 64% of 12th-grade students graduate without achieving proficiency in reading (NCES, 2019). Is it too late to intervene and support these older struggling readers? We don't think so. ANet is embarking on an exciting partnership with Reading Reimagined, supported by the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) and Stanford University, to identify and teach these students the foundational skills needed to up-level their reading.

I've heard some students say "My MSc/PhD project is going so well, and everything is under control", I have no idea how that becomes possible unless its a repetition. Every project should encounter attacks, criticisms, and challenges to seal every hole that could despise it even in the long run. If the project is presented to people with different schools of thought, beliefs and experience, it stands a good chance of being a great benefit to the research community.
