Elimination testing with adapted scoring reduces guessing and anxiety in multiple-choice assessments, but does not increase grade average in comparison with negative marking by Jef Vanderoost (5108072)

“…The comparison is structured around seven hypotheses: in comparison with negative marking, elimination testing with adapted scoring leads to (1) a similar average score (no grade inflation); (2) students expressing their partial knowledge; (3) a decrease in the number of blank answers; (4) no gender bias in the number of blank answers; (5) a reduction in guessing; (6) a decrease in self-reported test anxiety; and finally (7) students preferring elimination testing with adapted scoring over negative marking.…”

Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy of the Late Cretaceous‒early Paleocene interval in the Zagros basin (southeastern Tethys), Iran by Azam Mahanipour (10126937)

“…This study concentrates on two sections (the Gurpi and Kabir-Kuh sections) in the west and southwest of Iran in the Zagros Basin, which span biozones CC25c/UC20bTP to NP6/NTp10B in the Kabir-Kuh and CC25b/UC20aTP to NP5/NTp9 in the Gurpi section. Late Maastrichtian nannofossil abundance and diversity in the studied intervals is high with a sharp decrease slightly above the K/Pg boundary. …”
