Grading Series: Specifications Grading: Overview and Bundle Building

Thursday, September 21, 2023  |  2-3pm  |  Zoom  |  Facilitator: Michelle Abbott

Specifications grading, or spec grading, communicates high expectations, minimizes adversarial student-instructor grading relationships, and gives you more time to focus on providing individualized, meaningful feedback. Join us for the first 20 minutes to get a brief overview of spec grading and learn how some GHC students have responded to it. Stay for the full hour to dive deeper, and leave with your own customized token policy, grading bundles, and D2L Gradebook formulas.

Thursday, September 21, 2023  |  3-4 pm  |  Zoom  |  Facilitators: Laura Walton & Elizabeth Tanner
