You are invited to participate in CETL’s teaching talk, “Options for Feedback and Assessment in the Classroom,” on Friday, December 2, 10:00 – 11:15 a.m., in ROWE 319. This is one of a series of informal discussions aimed at sharing teaching concerns and discussing techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff.
At this session, participants will discuss topics like
- Formative and summative assessment
- Criterion-referenced (individual performance) vs. proportionate grading (the curve)
- Simple, everyday formative assessment strategies
- Fairness in assessment
- Alternatives to exams, tests, and quizzes
- The “fudge factor”
- The final grade
All UConn instructors—graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend.
Please email Stacey Valliere at CETL@uconn.edu (860-486-2686) to register, and contact Suzanne LaFleur if you have questions or would like more information.
