However, assigning liberal partial credit to students’ work can also disincentivize developing proficiency with the material. Here, we present an alternative specifications-based grading scheme for a general chemistry II lecture delivered as a flipped class. Students evaluated with a specifications-based grading scheme had higher average end-of-semester grades, with a greater proportion of students receiving A’s and A–’s than the students in the traditional grading scheme. Performance on standardized ACS final exams decreased slightly in courses using specifications-based grading. Additionally, we present the results of end-of-semester surveys, which revealed that students under the specifications-based grading system agreed more with positive statements related to student-instructor interactions, including getting feedback and asking for help. These results suggest that specifications-based grading may lead to more positive outcomes in the course and may encourage students to interact with their instructor more often.
