Hi Kate! Thanks for responding. I provide each student with a problem or task based on their current level of understanding. I use Webb’s Depth of Knowledge chart (http://sites.sau4.org/high-school-redesign/home/standards-based-education/competencies/webb-s-depth-of-knowledge) as a guide when creating or finding appropriate problems. The learning goal assessments I give contain both Level 1 and Level 2 type questions. The level 2 tasks I give are based on what you see in the chart as Level 3. The level 3 tasks are based on what you see in the chart as Level 4.

If a student has the correct answer but does not show any work, they receive an automatic 5 out of 10 points. This is still failing, but it is not going to ultimately affect their grade as much as if I was going to give them a 0. The student can then go back and resubmit the problem with the work attached; I will then adjust their grade accordingly.
