| Grading Student Work (Assessment Series Session IV) |
||
| Date: 2008-04-23 | Time: 09-00 | Location: 448 Blocker |
| Description: | ||
Grading fairly is a challenge. Should all student work be graded? When is it appropriate to use a simple pass/fail? If a student’s answer is wrong, but he or she uses an appropriate process to arrive at it do you give partial credit? When is it appropriate to “grade on the curve?” This workshop will review various grading philosophies, systems and processes. |
