A panel discussion on strategies for assessing and grading individualized learning took place in Harper Hall on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 4:30 p.m.
Panelists Mark Frazier, Eilene Hoft-March, Julie McQuinn, and Nancy Wall (ably moderated by Tim Spurgin) shared their expertise on assessment and grading in the context of individualized learning (tutorials, independent study, internships, applied lessons, studio classes, etc.).
The panelists addressed issues such as:
* What expectations do students bring to individualized learning experiences? What exactly should we expect from the students?
* What's the best way to handle this sort of grading? Is it a good idea to give interim grades at midterm, for example?
* What can we do to assess and improve our own work in these areas? How can we make sure we're doing a good job?
The session was recorded and is available for listening on campus only.
