Thursday February 13, 2025 1:15pm - 2:15pm CST

What do we believe about grading? What matters in grading? 

This session is not one about grading policy as being so much about grading philosophy.

Questions we might consider (but you get to choose):
  1. How has grading changed over the years, and how do you feel about those changes?

  2. When we "grade," what are we grading?

  3. When we assign grades, what are we communicating?

  4. What is “fair” in grading? 


We will be using a debate protocol to explore ideas surrounding grading.
