title = "Adopting Alternative Grading in an Upper-Level Laboratory Course in Bioengineering",
abstract = "Alternative grading schemes are growing in popularity in higher education STEM courses. These schemes focus more on learning and feedback than the traditional points-based grading scheme common in the U.S., which often relies mathematical formulas to determine grades without attention to students' actual mastery of material. In the 2021-22 academic year an alternative grading scheme was implemented in an upper level required laboratory course in bioengineering at a large public university. The process of identifying and implementing the alternative grading scheme was documented and feedback was collected from students and laboratory staff during the first two semesters of implementation.",
