Ungrading as a practice

takes a bit to learn it

I am experimenting this semester with what can be a very “controversial” topic. I am Ungrading. I will not be giving grades for any of the material in the courses I am teaching.

True story.

If you want some details on why and how to do it, see this book:

In addition, I am asking all the learners to read this article entitled, “Redefining Grades as Feedback, Not a Finish Line” by Donati et al. (2024). This will set the stage (hopefully) for a discussion on the purpose of grades, and what grades mean to the learner and do the instructor. Tomorrow is the first day of class, so we will see how it goes!

Thanks for coming along on this journey with me.
