Session Description
In-Person Session: 348 Kaplan Hall
Online materials will be provided for those who cannot attend
Friday, May 20th, 11am-12pm PDT
In this workshop-style roundtable session, participants will have the opportunity to learn about alternative grading practices such as UNgrading, labor-based grading, anti-racist grading, and contract grading. We will also discuss our views, experiences, and anxieties about implementing them in the classroom. Table leaders will challenge traditional grading practices by presenting briefly on various anti-racist grading theories followed by discussion. Participants will have the option of bringing their syllabi and working on incorporating alternative grading strategies. Our hope is that participants will leave the session with a greater understanding of alternative grading methods.
