Exploring EquivLiteral, EquivValue, and EquivSymbolic: Mathematical Options in Advanced Assessments with Bryan Lord, Math Coach of Career Academy HS

When working with math or chemistry question types in Otus, it's essential to understand the concept of 'Math-Specific Scoring.' This feature allows educators to select a scoring 'method' that dictates how Otus evaluates numerical answers. The scoring method chosen plays a crucial role in determining whether specific numerical responses are marked as correct or incorrect. It's a powerful tool that ensures precision in assessing mathematical and scientific concepts. During this session, you'll have the opportunity to join our Otus Certified Educator (OCE) Champ, Bryan Lord. Bryan brings his wealth of experience, having completed two OCE cohorts, and will share how Otus has transformed his classroom and teaching style.
