DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/52/">Im
 pacts on Student Achievement from Mastery Assessment and Course Redesign</
 a>\nby Gavin LaRose (University of Michigan) as part of Online Seminar On 
 Undergraduate Mathematics Education\n\n\nAbstract\nMathematics courses hav
 e traditionally been\ncharacterized by impersonal instruction and\nassessm
 ent centered on timed\, high-stakes\nexams\; as a result\, they have tradi
 tionally failed\nto promote the success of all students taking\nthe course
 s. In this talk we describe a course\nredesign of our introductory courses
  to focus\ninstruction on the success of all students and to\nrestructure 
 assessment to reduce the weight of\ntimed\, high-stakes exams by adding re
 peatable\nmastery assessment. Initial evaluation of the\nimpact of these c
 hanges suggests that they are\nhaving a positive effect on all students' s
 uccess\,\nand are reducing achievement gaps between\ndifferent student gro
 ups.\n
