Do you dread assigning grades? If you are curious about alternative grading methods but aren’t sure where to get started, this workshop is for you. We will explore key considerations before inviting you to think about how different methods—including specifications grading, standards-based grading, and collaborative grading—might work in your course. We will also identify possibilities to start small with alternative grading. 
 

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 Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). The CTE 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 CTE.
