Description:

Faculty Workshop - Assessment:  Grading with Intent -- Designing Effective Assessments to Improve Student Learning

Date: Friday, April 14

Time: 3:30 pm-5:00 pm

Traditionally, grading has served a single purpose: communicating to students how well they have performed in the course.  By thinking creatively and strategically about how to integrate it into a course, however, faculty members can use assessment as a means for improving student learning.  In this workshop, participants will consider how to

•          Link learning objectives, design, and assessment

•          Develop and use grading rubrics

•          Effectively use alternative forms of student assessment

•          Use formative assessment to improve student learning

Light refreshments will be provided.

Please note: Current location is not wheelchair accessible. If you need wheelchair access please let us know and we will do our best to find an accessible location.
