Description

Are you interested in leading discussion, lecturing and assessing students’ learning more effectively? Do you want to find out how technology can be used in a pedagogically sound manner that will help your students remain engaged? Come join us at the Faculty Roundtables on Advanced Teaching Practices and Technologies.


The Chicago Center for Teaching and Academic & Scholarly Technology Services have jointly planned nine Friday lunch-hour roundtabless in the 2014-15 academic year to discuss three themes--discussion, lecturing, and assessment. We will devote one roundtable per quarter to each theme, and each roundtable will focus on a specific pedagogical challenge. At each roundtable, featured faculty members from across the University will briefly share their experiences on the featured topic, after which the majority of time will be devoted to discussion and questions. A light lunch will be provided. The roundtables are open to all faculty, and we especially encourage new faculty to attend.

Assessment, Feedback and Grading I - Assessment and Learning

Friday, November 14, noon to 1:30 p.m., TECHB@R

We will begin this session by exploring the instruments and measures we use to assess what students know and what students are able to do, as well as the mechanisms we use to feed results back to students. After we discuss a few empirical studies, we will investigate strategies for graded and non-graded assessment strategies. We will then devote time to the issue of grading -- both the assignment of a specific ranking to students’ work and some tools that are available for making grading more fair and less time-consuming.
