Grades and grading can have an outsize impact on our students’ – and our own – experiences in the classroom. Anxiety around grades can dampen student motivation and disincentivize intellectual risk-taking. And faculty can find that the time and effort they devote to grading leaves little energy for pedagogical creativity. This session seeks to address these challenges by exploring how a focus on fairness and transparency in grading can create more supportive learning environments for students and help faculty better manage their grading loads. Join us to wade into the conversation about grading and for a chance to share ideas, successes, and pain points with colleagues.
