Workshop Description:

Serving as a teaching assistant in STEM classes often involves grading homework and exams, which can be the bane of grad student life. This workshop provides strategies for grading and feedback on problem sets in a fair and efficient way that will benefit both you and your students. You will leave this workshop with methods for breaking down a solution into component steps and building a consistent rubric or key. You will also critique various styles of feedback.

Workshop Facilitators:

Sara Clifton is a fifth year PhD candidate in the Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics department.

Kate Damme is a fourth-year doctoral student in the Psychology Department studying changes in structural and functional connectivity of motivation in bipolar disorder.

*STEM Workshops are part of CIRTL at Northwestern which serves graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to improve undergraduate learning in STEM.
