Assessment and Grading in Remote Teaching Here’s What I Want: Designing Effective Rubricsīring your assignment sheets and we’ll build task-specific rubrics based on them! These rubrics will reflect the demonstrated learning goals of the course and of the specific assignment.

In this workshop, we’ll discuss how to interpret and incorporate student feedback to improve your course. We’ll also brainstorm group activities conducive to a remote learning environment. We discuss how to make the most of building communities over Zoom with group work. Time spent “grading” might be better spent in these formative interactions. We review strategies to make a 10-minute conference with students a high-impact practice at various stages in paper writing or projects.

Conferencing with Students (online or otherwise) We’ll discuss the foundations of good writing (aka higher-order concerns) such as clarity and organization, rather than the nit-picky and often difficult to explain rules of grammar (aka lower-order concerns). Join us for a discussion of how to give meaningful writing feedback without a writing background.

Giving Writing Feedback (when you’re not a writing teacher) We’ll also explore how to measure low-stakes writing and implement low-stakes writing activities into your course schedule. We’ll talk about incorporating low-stakes writing assignments into your courses, including types of writing genres relevant to your field. We’ll explore multi-modal methods of facilitating discussion over Zoom as well as remote classroom etiquette. Join us for a workshop on getting students to start talking.
