Introduction to Alternative Grading Practices

Event Description

Are you frustrated with your current grading practices? Maybe you’ve heard of things like ungrading, specifications grading, or contract grading and you’re curious to learn more? Or perhaps you’ve already experimented with alternative grading and would appreciate a chance to discuss it with your peers? If so, join us for this faculty workshop where we will briefly review critiques of traditional college grading and then introduce some of the most well-known alternative grading systems. Participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm with their peers and discuss the potential applications of alternative grading in their courses.

This workshop will take place in person on the Danforth campus (exact location to be announced).

Lunch is provided. If you have questions about this Faculty Workshop, please contact Dr. Rick Moore, Assistant Director for Assessment and Evaluation.
