I see lots of posts about instructors interested in trying #ungrading, or contract-based grading. Here's some materials that showcase how I do it. (Thread)

1) Here's a syllabus that provides some context and the framework I’m operating in: drive.google.com/file/d/13lKkiB…

2) These are final portfolio templates that illustrate how I ultimately assess students at the end of term. They select most work they want me to review, with exception of the final:

*for FY Writing: docs.google.com/document/d/1Hz…

*for adv. writing courses: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

3) Here are examples of student portfolios from FY Writing and one from an adv. writing course that used a similar template. I'm using Google Forms now too, but I'm deciding which method is better. WPAs might find Google Forms better for research purposes: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

4) Students receive feedback from me via Google Form. This has saved me sooo much time! Plus, From a #WPA standpoint, reduces the amount of time course mapping later.

Example of FY Writing: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Example of an Advanced Writing Course: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

5) Course practices that have accommodated this process include activities that engage students' self-management of their own work and meta-knowledge:

We crowdsource notetaking: docs.google.com/document/d/13l…

They manage their own peer reviewing/writing groups: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

6) Finally, Editorial activity is self-assessed as part of the final portfolio: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
