Feedback and Grading
Main Content
Exit tickets and midterm surveys are great ways to collect feedback from students that can be used to improve your class sessions and identify what is already working well.
It is important to
understand the distinction between direct and indirect evidence of student
learning. As instructors, it's important to reduce unintentional bias in our assessments and to understand how a perceived threat of bias can affect student performance.
The purpose of low-stakes assignments is to provide students with an
indication of their performance and an opportunity to improve prior to receiving a final
grade. High-stakes assessment of student learning often
involves the evaluation of a student's final "product," whether it is a
term paper, final exam, or other type of project. Approaching plagiarism as an opportunity for teaching
and learning, rather than exclusively focusing on detection and
punishment, has significant benefits for both students and educators. Assessing reflection can be challenging, but there some assessment frameworks that can help. Official course grades must be submitted in Campus Connect.
