Equitable Grading Strategies

Equitable Grading Strategies

What do grades really measure and how do they perpetuate systemic racism in higher education? How can we more accurately and more equitably indicate learning progress?

Egs course tile

Description

What do grades really measure? Is there a more accurate indicator of our students’ skills and abilities? The traditional grading system used in higher education in the U.S. is often more a measure of privilege or personality than of learning. It also creates a competitive, chilly course climate that can undermine efforts to build community with students and positions instructors as gatekeepers, as opposed to partners. In this course we will investigate alternative strategies for indicating student learning that are more equitable, more accurate, and more effectively promote student agency and motivation . We will also discuss some simple changes instructors can make to their syllabus policies and course design that can increase grading equity and student engagement with the learning process.

Details

Fulfills: 
Duration: 4 Weeks

Time Commitment: approximately 10 hours per week, for a total of 40 hours
