  • 10/12 Automatically Graded Low-Stakes Assessments

    You are invited to participate in a series of informal teaching talks throughout 2017.  These are opportunities for participants to comfortably share teaching concerns and discuss techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff.  All sessions will take place in Rowe 319.  All UConn instructors —graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend.

    Contact Suzanne LaFleur if you have questions or would like more information.

    Thursday, October 12     1:30 – 2:45              Exploring Options for Automatically Graded Low-Stakes Assessments

    Most of us are aware of how constant feedback can help students learn. However, with our busy schedules, who has time to grade tons of assignments every week, especially in large classes? In this talk, we will discuss how technology can help us create ungraded or low-stakes assessments that can be automatically graded and provide some brief feedback. We will consider options like Google Forms, polling apps, clickers, and HuskyCT tools.
