I'm at @Cornell today to talk about alternative grading. Ivy League institutions have particular needs and opportunities when it comes to grading reform and it's going to be an interesting day working with faculty on this. #altgrading

I've been reading learner reflections tonight. So far this is my favorite: "You are chill and not so hard on us when we mess up."
Could be due to my use of #altgrading and no-penalty resubmissions. #gradingforgrowth

Today at Grading For Growth, I'm writing about the EMRN rubric, which has made some appearances in past posts -- and how my use of this simple grading tool has evolved alongside my use of alternative grading. #altgrading

Today at Grading For Growth, I'm writing about innovation - a word that gets mixed responses from higher education folks. Specifically, is alternative grading actually innovative, and if so, is that good or bad?

Back to posting about #AltGrading: it's been too long! Teaching a new class this semester (#TuftsBio105), and I'm going to be trying a combo of #SBG and #SpecsGrading!
