Jeff Schinske at #TheGradingConference: course content in a required anatomy&physiology course is not aligned with future professional nursing and is actually exclusionary! How well does this apply to intro chem, bio, math?

Sarah Silverman at #TheGradingConference makes explicit the links between ranking people and eugenics. Is our grading assessing? measuring? ranking? culling? Are you directly or indirectly involved in a weed-out course? Academic Chatter™

Day 2 of #TheGradingConference and I’m loving the diversity of topics and disciplines present in these conversations on alternative/un-grading 📝

I thought I wanted to get a phd for the funky hat but now I want an awesome title like this > " 'Get the F Outta Here' has got to be one of the best dissertation titles I’ve ever seen" Drew Lewis #TheGradingConference #ungrading #AlternativeGrading #AlternativeAssessment

So many inspiriting sources and suggestions at today's #TheGradingConference! One that I am so ready to dive into: David David Buck (dbuckedu.bsky.social) Buck's Pressbook _Crowdsourcing Ungrading_ pressbooks.howardcc.edu/ungrading/ Academic Chatter™

New words for "quiz" or "exam" from #TheGradingConference: check-in (Tamar More) quizam (Sarah Wright), and celebration of learning (ash) Academic Chatter™

Another amazing #TheGradingConference is in the books. So much love to this unbelievably generous and welcoming community!! Now time to collapse....

Katie is our in-house “alt grading” guru — we are so lucky to have her at Tufts bio! (Have Qs about grading approaches in biology? Drop her a line!)

I didn’t have any time to post last week, but I had a fantastic time attending (and helping to organize) #TheGradingConference. So many folks sharing their knowledge about and experiments with grading! Thanks to the organizers and presenters who made it such a great event!

Latest installment of cross stitch pieces inspired by #TheGradingConference. Love!! 😍 (This would have been finished way earlier, but I ran out of the right thread on my DC trip last week 😭)

Please RT! I'm writing a post about applying for academic jobs while #AltGrading and #Ungrading and would love to get some perspectives other than my own! Please reply or DM if you're willing to chat. :)
