Grading to Communicate: Using Rubrics
Perhaps no single activity in teaching is more fraught (and more recurrent) than grading. Yet we know that effective grading helps keep students on task and can direct their attention to areas where they need improvement. One useful grading tool is a rubric, and a new rubric tool in Blackboard can make it easy. Join us for one or both sessions.
Talk Session, Thursday November 1st, Commons 318 – Join your colleagues to discuss common grading issues, learn what the scholarship says about effective grading and explore ways of using rubrics to make grading more communicative and help students take more responsibility for their own learning. Lunch will be provided.
