The OTLT Center for Teaching invites you to engage in a discussion about alternative grading strategies that can foster equitable assessment. This virtual event is co-facilitated by the Center for Teaching's Assessing Assessment Faculty Learning Community (FLC). We'll start by introducing equitable strategies to assess students' learning and alternative grading methods. A panel of FLC members, including Jennifer Sterling, Andrew Forbes, Elizabeth Heineman, and Katie DeVries Hassman, will share their experiences with alternative grading methods. We'll conclude with a discussion on collaborative grading, specifications grading, and contract grading as forms of alternative grading methods.

We will meet via Zoom. Introduction and faculty panel (1 to 2:30 p.m.) and optional sessions on alternative grading systems (2:45 to 3:30 p.m.).
