Grading involves more than assigning marks. Teaching Assistants regularly make decisions about student work while navigating expectations from course instructors, concerns about fairness and consistency, student needs and uncertainty about assessment criteria, and more.
What does fair and consistent grading actually mean? How can we apply grading rubrics consistently across different students and assignments, especially when student work doesn't fit neatly into the assessment criteria?
Join us for the next , where we'll explore authentic grading dilemmas, consider different perspectives, and discuss possible approaches to navigating these challenges. Through case-based discussions, we'll reflect on the complexities of grading, share experiences, and learn from one another.
There are no single 鈥渞ight鈥� answers鈥攋ust opportunities to think critically about our grading practices and develop greater confidence in making fair, consistent, and context-sensitive decisions.
Graduate instructors and Teaching Assistants from all disciplines and levels of teaching experience are welcome. No preparation is required.
