It’s the end of the semester–the time when students have a chance to show what they have learned all semester. But it’s also the time when we teachers can get a bit overwhelmed with the sheer amount of grading as well as the decisions that have to be made in creating and then assessing those final assignments. So this month’s Friday Forum will focus on grading–come talk with your colleagues about how to manage the grading load, how to better use grading to promote learning,  how to have those tough conversations with students about grades, and how to deal with cheating and plagiarism. We’ll meet in O204 at 12:30 for lunch and conversation. See you there!
