Equitable Grading Practices

Do you dread the pile of blue books that you have to read through for midterms and exams? Do you worry that your grading may be slightly inconsistent? This workshop focuses on how to improve grading practices through the use of rubrics. Whether you're a seasoned lab leader or a new teaching fellow, rubrics offer an explicit, systematic way to explain your learning objectives to students while shortening your grading time. Participants will be introduced to rubrics used across various disciplines and learn how to identify clear learning objectives for students and graders alike. Finally, this workshop will allow participants to reflect on how they might adopt a rubric in their own current or future classroom setting. Doctoral students of all stages are welcome.
