Results from two semesters of implementing skill/competency-based grading in introductory university physics

In this poster we present outcomes from two years of implementing skill/competency-based grading in University Physics II, the second half of a two-semester introductory physics sequence that focuses on waves, electricity, and magnetism. Every skill could be assessed multiple times to show proficiency - twice scheduled in class, and up to once a day for the following week. Questions on quizzes, and in homework assignments, were labelled by specific skill at either satisfactory or advanced competence level. Student opinions on the assessment system were collected via survey, and student performance was compared to previous semesters in a more traditional instructional style.
