Right now I have a long term sub assignment teaching math so I totally understand the whole partial credit part of your post. What I do is to give each question a value of 2 points. To get full credit you have to show your work and get the right answer. If you show your work and get a wrong answer then I give you 1 point. If no work is shown then you get zippo. That way the worst a student can get is a 50% and I get to see if they are just making silly math errors or if they truly don't get the concepts I was teaching. I'd love to see you do a post on informal assessment since this one was all formal assessment. Great post.
