A Learning Center Based System of Instruction

Partial-Credit Scoring Methods for Multiple-Choice Tests

“…As noted by Israel (1979), an infinite number of other scoring rules for answer-until-correct testing are possible, depending on how one wishes to reward partial information and penalize misinformation, subject only to the restriction that it must not profit the examinee to make another response after identifying the answer. Musser and Thompson (1977) provided an example of use of a scoring rule other than Brown's.…”

Applications of Intermediate Algebra: A Possible Alternative

“…The model integrates components of Postlethwait's GAS-SAS-ISS model [1], some elements of the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) started by Keller [2], and offers testing and tutorial service through a Mathematical Sciences Learning Center, described earlier by Musser and Thompson [3]. Students met three times a week for a GAS (General Assembly) session in groups of 90-100.…”
