Random thing I found at a #ThriftStore: Self-Adding E-Z Average finder.

This is my most adorable non-human #computer.

One of the curious things about teaching to me is that the school and other instructors encourage me to be rigid, deadlines are deadlines, but I keep wearing my manager hat and have more allowances in my classes.

I'll accept late work, as long as you communicated. I get that some things didn't make sense to you yet because you don't have all the context, and we can talk it out before you submit.

This apparently is weakness, I think it is human.

A little reflection on the work I've done to improve a web app I use for tracking student growth this year.

A student just referred to a song from 2004 as "semi-modern pop culture" in their final exam.

They're young. I'm old.

#grading

Something I've never seen before: one of my students italicized book titles in their handwritten final exam. They did a good job at it too. #Grading

It's final grading time. Send pics of cute furry critters please (for the students of course)!

Hope this brings a smile to everyone else out there grading or taking finals. End of semester home stretch! #grading #finals #neuroscience

Some more ruminations on grading as we barrel toward the end of the semester next week.

I don’t see why I should have to grade all these assignments, just because I’m the one who created them, assigned them, distributed them, and insisted that students complete them. so unfair!

oh how I love this time on Friday afternoons when the emails stop coming in... #writing #grading #thinking #coding #academicChatter

When I was a Classics major, I had a professor with absolutely no concept of how grading worked. Every week, he'd give us a quiz. The first week, there were ten questions, and I got eight right. So my mark was 80%. The next week, there were nine questions. I got all nine correct. My mark was 90%. Another time, there were eleven questions. I got ten right, so my mark was 100%.

I spoke to him many times explaining that his grading was messed up, but he never understood.

Math does not come easily to me, but here I was trying to teach him basic arithmetic. It didn't work. Everyone had to challenge their marks every week. #math #numeracy #grading

between papers that I finished grading last week (& got "saved" from because 3 people didn't submit a paper) and exams I've been grading since Thursday (after taking Wednesday to be in my feels), I've been feeling overwhelmed by piles in need of responses. I never take longer than a week to grade things on principle. But 2 of my classes are big.
If I can finish 13-15 (a tall order) today, I'll be on pace to finish Wednesday...& then can have a couple weeks of no grading whatsoever. #grading

What we're reading: Why Teachers Should Grade Less Frequently, by By Youki Terada, and Stephen Merrill at Edutopia

Teachers, as the frequency and way you grade changed across your career? What do you find works best today?

“Bad exams, great class: an unusual case study in excellent teaching” — inspirational post by Ben Orlin on setting expectations and relaxing our focus on grading.

> Teaching well requires articulating what you want students to learn, and then creating tasks and experiences to help them do that.

"The goal of this paradigm shift is to rethink what learning can be, how it’s measured, who measures it and, crucially, when one is finished." #ungrading #grading #education https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/07/31/Good-Riddance-Easy-A/

There is an interesting ukrant opinion on #grading this week https://ukrant.nl/grading-is-superficial-and-dehumanizing-its-time-to-rethink-it/?lang=en

While I agree with it, I still don't see what will be a good solution and, moreover, I see a lot of disagreement on this point. What do you think?

We discussed this also a few months ago in Degrees of Freedom https://soundcloud.com/degrees_of_freedom/s3e06-ungrading

This gives a bit more context also to some of our doubts and hopes

Grading exams: it pains me to see some of my Calc II students are using the quadratic formula to solve \(b^2-3b=0\). #exams #grading #calculus

#grading is done for the semester!

If #grading papers were more like #DuoLingo, with multi-sensory rewards for each sentence, annotation, etc., then how would grading improve (or suffer)?

I should not feel like I need to drink to get through grading work full of conspiracy thinking. But here we are...
