Teaching Day keynote speaker Josh Eyler invites us to think about alternative grading systems. Whether or not you are interested in transitioning to an alternative grading system, one way to change the emphasis put on grades in your classroom is to write feedback that your students will actually use. We will explore research-supported ways of giving feedback as well as thinking about how your class can be structured so that students can’t ignore that feedback.

This workshop is part of the Evidence-Based Teaching Strategies series for GW instructors seeking strategies to increase student engagement and communicate with learners in new ways. Workshops in this series are sponsored by the Instructional Core. The Instructional Core provides comprehensive, integrated solutions for instructors in search of teaching solutions. If you need feedback on assignment or syllabus design, advice on teaching methods, or ideas for new activities, consider booking a consultation with the Instructional Core.

This workshop is part of the Course Design and Feedback series for GW instructors looking for support both in developing innovative, engaging courses and in meaningfully applying feedback after the course ends.
