From Wheelock to BU: Perspectives on Grading and Gatekeeping in Math

Overview

Debbie Borkovitz, Clinical Professor of Mathematics and Education, taught math to mostly math-phobic students at Wheelock College for 25 years before she started teaching mostly STEM majors at BU four years ago. During this time, she has used many alternative assessment systems at both Wheelock and BU, and shares some thoughts about changing the grading paradigm at BU.
