Event Description 

A mastery-based grading system enables instructors to structure their courses in a way that allows learners the time and flexibility to focus on mastering each content standard rather than achieving a certain number or letter grade. Join the Poorvu Center for a conversation with James Barnes, Lecturer in Math, who uses a mastery-based system to enable students to learn the mathematical content more deeply and equitably.
