  • 11/27 What are My Grades Really Grading?

    Monday, November 27           1:30 – 2:45                  What are my Grades Really Grading?

    We plan our courses with a set of objectives in mind, but how much do we take them into account when planning our final exams and assignments? If we want to encourage critical thinking, does it make sense to have a multiple-choice exam with concepts from the textbook? In this hands-on session, we will look at the correlation between course objectives and assessments. We will look at concrete examples and consider each participant’s own case. The goal is for participants to leave with at least one test question or assignment that is well aligned with one of their objectives.
