Specifications, or “specs” grading is based on clearly defined learning outcomes and self-selected course bundles, satisfactory-unsatisfactory grading with no partial credit, and multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate proficiency. This Learning by Design (LBD) studio provides a basic overview of specs grading pedagogy and practice.

All LBD Studios are available on-demand through the FDC Commons Moodle site or on our website. Please email us (fdc@furman.edu) if you do not have access to the FDC Commons.
