Last week at the Midwestern Psychological Association conference, Psychology students presented their qualitative analysis from a study done by Chemistry professors Drummond, Fishovitz, Houser, and Sager-Smith and Psychology Professor Russell on the effect of specifications grading on student test anxiety and stress mindset.

The quantitative analysis was published earlier this year in the Journal of Chemical Education (linked in comments) and was funded by a Ball Venture Fund grant the group was awarded in 2024.
