Devil’s EDvocate Series, October 2020: Assessment and Grading

October 2020

In this episode of the “Devil’s EDvocate” series, co-hosts Dr. Dan Kreiness (@dr_kreiness) and Rachelle Dene Poth (@rdene915) tackle the topic of assessment and grading. During the episode, we discussed “toxic” grading practices vs. effective grading practices, evaluative vs. descriptive feedback, and formative vs. summative assessment, and we back it all up with relevant and timely research and data.
