摘要

全州范围的倡议和 COVID-19 大流行促使我们重新审视如何在课程中对学生进行授课和评估。在本文中，我们讨论了使用评分合同的经验，这种合同通常用于写作课程，但在运筹学等领域却几乎无人知晓。我们发现，本科生非常支持这种合同，而且最终的课程成绩在统计学上没有显著差异。我们呼吁教育界同仁考虑采用其他方法来替代传统的评分方法，因为传统的评分方法在评价学生时更倾向于课堂考试。

Adventures with Grading Contracts in Operations Classes: A Preliminary Investigation

Statewide initiatives and the COVID-19 pandemic have caused us to re-examine how we deliver and evaluate students in our courses. In this paper, we discuss our experiences using grading contracts, which are commonly used in writing programs but virtually unknown in fields like operations research. We found strong undergraduate student support for the contract and no statistically significant differences in final course grades. We urge our fellow educators to consider alternatives to the traditional grading schemes that strongly favor in-class exams in evaluating students.
