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 transparency in grading can create more supportive learning environments for students and help faculty more easily manage their grading loads. During the session, participants will begin drafting a grading plan for a particular assignment.
