Grading in my Discrete Mathematics class: a 3x3x3 reflection

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

Here's the one from Winter 2021 for calculus and here's the one for modern algebra. This semester I taught two sections of Discrete Structures for Computer Science 1, an entry-level course for Computer Science majors on the mathematical foundations of computing. Nearly all the students are CS majors.
