This is the third installment of a series of posts focusing on the Four Pillars of Alternative Grading : The Four Pillars are a model that seeks to identify the elements that alternative forms of grading have in common elements whose primary goals are improving grading and making it focused on student growth.

My original goal in A New Kind of Science was to take a step beyond the mathematical paradigm that had defined the state of the art in science for three centuries—and to introduce a new paradigm based on computation and on the exploration of the computational universe of possible programs. But there’s more.

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? You need to be able to easily define mathematically complicated boundary conditions. are Comap and ComapApply. In Version 3.0

And its curriculum is used both as primary lessons and as what its leaders call “complementary” lessons, which emphasize visual models and real-life examples. We could create a culture around mathematics where mistakes are magic because mistakes are definitely how you learn.

be the primary measure of success in a course, and some measure of grace and flexibility will be included along with high standards and "rigor" And for other instructors, this concept raises more questions than answers. For some instructors, it provides hope that student growth will (finally!) Limit the frequency of reassessments.

It explains that III has four divisions: Mathematical and Programming Services, Behavioral Science, Operations, and “New York”. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. So what happened is Marvin [Minsky] and I basically fleshed out the idea of a mathematical thing.
