In 2023/24, Nelly Litvak (full professor) and Noela M眉ller (assistant professor) of the Mathematics and Computer Science department implemented a new competency-based grading system for 300 1st year students. In this system, the learning goals of the course are formulated in terms of 16 specific competencies, and the students can demonstrate these competencies by doing small weekly tests with multiple attempts. Their system falls under alternative grading, see e.g. [1].

They have seen many benefits of competency-based grading, including that:

• It was clear for the students what was expected from them;
• Most students were keeping up with the course;
• Students used feedback to improve, and;
• They could identify struggling students and reach out to them.

In this talk, they will explain in detail the design and implementation of this new grading system.

This event is open to teachers and support staff; registration is free and can be done . Free lunch and drinks will be available to those attending in person.
