The Effect of Changing Grading Criteria on Student Writing

Abstract
Students enrolled in a senior-level psychology course used a computer-aided personalized system of instruction (CAPSI) to write tests, and give and receive feedback on their writing at a mastery level. Weekly measures of the number of unit tests requested, the number of unit tests cancelled, and informal student feedback all indicate that a change in the feedback to allow revision of answers increased student persistence and activity in CAPSI.
