When students were able to have clinical experiences in health care settings, the students or their nursing program often had to provide PPE. Faculty and students reported dif- ficulties in adjusting so quickly to alternative teaching strate- gies. There was increased student and faculty attrition during the pandemic, particularly during 2021.

    Next, we'll talk about the extension of that model to polytomous scoring for partial credit. For a quick overview, as you know, today, the exam is scored by having each one of the items scored either right or wrong, zero or one. This is why it's called a dichotomous model, because there are only two outcomes. The polytomous model just extends this approach to allow for more than two possible outcomes. Rather than just all right or all wrong, there will be the potential for getting partial credit. We'll see more about this later.
