Alternative Approaches to Grading

Between the hours instructors spend on grading and the anxiety our students feel around grades, it may be time to consider another way. Join us as we explore alternative grading strategies that put learning at the center of our courses. We will be joined by KSU faculty who will share their own experiences with alternative grading strategies.
