Competencies, Evidence, and Remediation
Use the checkpoint, the lab evidence and the integrated capstone. A high total cannot compensate for a missing foundational skill. This is an authored assessment; independent review and learner pilots are pending, so its workload and thresholds are provisional.
| Competency | Evidence | Repair path | Changed-assumption recheck |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 Logic and scope | P1–P2, lab 1, A1 | Lessons 1–4; translate before negating | Swap quantifiers or make a domain empty |
| C2 Proof construction | P3–P5, A2 | Lessons 5–8; hypotheses and exhaustive cases | Change iff to implication and critique the converse |
| C3 Sets | P6, A3 | Lessons 9–10; arbitrary-element proof | Replace union by intersection and rederive |
| C4 Functions | P7–P9, lab 2, A4 | Lessons 11–12; type and witness table | Enlarge the codomain or allow a partial graph |
| C5 Relations | P10, labs 2–3, A5 | Lesson 13; property negations | Keep pairs fixed but change the carrier |
| C6 Quotients and orders | P11–P12, lab 3, A6 | Lessons 14–15; representative independence | Remove an extremum or change the class label |
| C7 Induction and termination | P13–P15,P17, A7 | Lessons 16–17; base reachability and measure | Change the step size and derive needed initial cases |
| C8 Recursive models | P16,P18–P20, lab 4, A8 | Lesson 18 and model contracts | Add unary nodes or shared representations |
Per-competency rubric
- 0 — Missing: no usable attempt, wrong claim or unsupported answer.
- 1 — Developing: relevant reasoning but a logical gap, missing hypothesis, incorrect domain, or repair requiring substantive hints.
- 2 — Independent: correct definitions and full argument, valid witnesses, explicit assumptions, and independently explained code evidence where relevant.
- 3 — Transfer: level 2 plus an unfamiliar variation handled correctly and an accurate account of why the old argument applies or fails.
Record C1–C8 separately. Completion requires level 2 in every competency, passing lab checks with explanations, and the capstone proof/review packet. Accept alternative correct proofs; do not award extra credit just for naming a fancy method. Any counterexample outside the domain, assumed conclusion, unproved reverse implication, nondecreasing termination measure, or representative-dependent map caps the affected competency at 1 until repaired.
Remediation and delayed transfer
Record the exact gap, revisit its lesson, solve a different problem with support, then attempt a fresh equivalent-difficulty problem without that support. A copied solution is practice, not independent evidence. Recheck two selected competencies 7–14 days later, including a previously weak one. Require level 2 again and record the interval, prompt, assistance and result. This is a retention checkpoint, not proof of a population ranking.
An instructor or peer should challenge one capstone assumption and review one proof. If no reviewer is available, mark the record self-reviewed and keep the external-review field pending. Do not claim independent validation from self-scoring.
