Targeted Test Revision—Another Approach to Science Testing: Treating Physics Learning as a Work in Progress

Journal of College Science Teaching—November 1998

Instead of punishing students for not doing their best work, more could be accomplished by taking their work and having them focus on their misunderstandings. The analogy of a first-draft paper comes to mind.
