So much fun talking with other #AlternativeGrading people at #TheGradingConference today about maintaining balance while alternative grading. Recordings from the conference will be available publicly in a few months

“I hoped that this would help students see that whatever perspective they had on grades was valid.”

There are many things I like about #AlternativeGrading The one standing out at this moment is being able to review assignments as they come in instead of waiting and doing them all at once. I have already assessed almost half of the assignments that are due this evening. And yes, this also shows that many students do complete and submit their work early. #AcademicChatter #RespectStudents

Are there any #AlternativeGrading #MasteryGrading people on here? @academicchatter

If you're teaching mathematics (or a maths-adjacent field) in #higherEd and would like to read more about teaching and evaluation practices such as #flippedLearning or #alternativeGrading, I highly recommend Robert Talbert's blog https://rtalbert.org/ as well as the https://gradingforgrowth.com/about website he maintains with David Clark.

To all the #ungrading folks: if you had to implement ungrading in your course all over again, what would you do differently? #lessonsLearned #alternativeGrading

I've wondered what role #ungrading & #alternativegrading can have for contingent instructors without the power or institutional foundation to make a radical course redesign.

I'm seeing its influence now, in my own adjunct teaching:

I'm interrogating deeply unconscious beliefs about ulterior motivations for grading: 1. that bad grades may serve a purpose of teaching "logical consequences" (a la parenting books) & 2. that grades can be signals about the importance of my feedback for revisions.
