  • 2/26 Responding to Student Writing-Better Ways to Grade

    Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning

     

    Lunchtime Seminar

    Providing an opportunity for faculty, graduate students, and professional staff to gather with colleagues to listen, discuss, comment, interact and reflect on a variety of topics to enhance teaching and learning.

    The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning offers the following workshop:

    Responding to Student Writing: Are There Better Ways to Grade?
    Tom Deans, English and CETL-Writing Center
    How can requiring students to submit brief cover letters or self-assessments with their papers both reduce your grading time and nudge your students to take more responsibility for their writing? How much commenting is too much? Are you aware of the benefits of audio responses to drafts? We’ll broach these and other questions as we explore strategies for responding to student writing–strategies that promote learning even as they lessen the time and anxiety of grading.

    Friday, February 26th
    11:15-1:10pm
    ROWE Center, room 318
