You know how essential it is for students to be active participants in their education. But how do you grade them on it? In this program, you’ll learn an overview of what not to do when grading participation, activities worth doing, how to do them, and how to evaluate your own process. Learning Goals:
- Avoid common pitfalls associated with grading student participation
- Identify criteria you will use to evaluate student participation
- Develop strategies for implementing your assessment plan
- Develop and implement feedback strategies to help students improve their participation
The video and attached supplemental materials will be available for one week only, from Monday, September 21 through Sunday, September 27, 2015.
