Looking at my transcripts, you can tell when I no longer cared about grades. My classmates in undergraduate education courses were aghast. My prof’s (who were John Dewey fans) nodded and smiled.
@garyackerman 🙂 I was lucky. All my "grades" looked like this. All narratives.
I was such the dreamer. "I feel that if an instructor is "good" and knowledgeable in the subject, they need to do very little design and can let the students do it for them."

@toddconaway That sentence made me laugh, until I realized those who are “good” at teaching, know their stuff, and attend to students make it look like the students are doing it themselves. Maybe we call it “tacit design?”
@garyackerman I was like 22 at the time. I think even then I felt like much of the class time was over-scripted and would have benefited from some student input, even if it was just a bunch of questioning the script 🙂
Mostly, I like the format of the "grades" I got. I feel fortunate. Every day.
