SUMMARY:(TA Teaching Exchange) Grading Dilemmas: Navigating Fairness and Consistency as a TA
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 20\n11 a.m.–12 p.m.\nOnline\nJoin the meeting\nGrading 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.\nWhat 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?\nJoin us for the next TA Teaching Exchange session\, 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.\nThere are no single “right” answers—just opportunities to think critically about our grading practices and develop greater confidence in making fair\, consistent\, and context-sensitive decisions.\nGraduate instructors and Teaching Assistants from all disciplines and levels of teaching experience are welcome. No preparation is required.
