Proponents of the grading philosophy known as minimal marking argue that “the best mark is that which allows students to correct the most on their own with the least help.” In this workshop, we’ll talk about why we assign grades to individual assignments, explore the ideas behind minimal marking, and consider how rubrics can save time and create a fairer and more instructive experience for your students. For this workshop, you will complete pre-work available in Canvas modules and then apply what you have learned in a sychronous Zoom session on 9/25.
This workshop delivered by the UT Canvas Team.
