Talking Teaching: Inclusive Assessment Methods

Friday, February 16, 2024  |  12-1 pm  |  Teams  | Discussion Leader: Banhi Nandi, Asst. Prof. of Biology

At this month’s Talking Teaching gathering, Banhi Nandi will lead a discussion about fair and unbiased grading practices and alternative assessment methods that accommodate different learning styles and preferences.

Talking Teaching gatherings provide an opportunity for faculty to discuss teaching and learning with their colleagues in a small and relatively informal setting. Each session will explore a specific topic, element, or dimension of teaching and learning. No advance preparation required. Talking teaching sessions will be held on Fridays from 12-1pm every four weeks in Spring 2024 (1/19, 2/16, 3/15, & 4/12). Bring your lunch and join us in Teams for a hearty discussion!
