Grading so that you do not become overwhelmed with the task

AM- Interactive Workshop

By the end of the session, participants will be able to

discuss the advantages of different ways to assess student learning including different types of tests, and different student assessment models
develop effective multiple choice questions
develop grading rubrics to fairly grade essays, projects and presentations
streamline the grading process so that it does not overtake faculty’s jobs

This session will use a series of short information dissemination formats followed by individuals practicing what they just learned using content from their own courses. Then small groups of participants will provide feedback on what they just constructed and collectively work to improve the assessment examples they created. We will discuss how to streamline the grading process and how to give feedback to students efficiently. The session will end with individuals reflecting on how they can more effectively assess their students and plan for implementation.
