In September AIER facilitated a Learning Journey with students of the Education department at Whitworth University. One student had the following to say after their visit:
"The concept of mastery and lack of conventional grading was a big switch from what I have been taught. Their explanation of how credits are received and classes passed was very intriguing and logical. Especially when they gave the example of the student who did well on all of their tests but didn't turn in any of their assignments, they failed even though they knew the content. They understood the content and should get credit for that."
