Last quarter I stole someone's idea to replace exams with not-tests, so students could share their understanding of course material any way they wanted. It was amazing and honestly made grading fun!! Had to share some of their creative work (with permission). I got original art: ImageImage
Poetry: ImageImageImage
Original songs: Image
Cartoons: Image
Memes: Image
Plays: Image
Games: Image
And even ghost stories! Image
Highly, highly recommended!!
A couple of folks have asked about the prompt for this assignment, so here it is. I introduced not-tests in writing on Canvas and in a synchronous class - live discussion seemed to spur ideas! I used a rubric largely borrowed from the amazing @KaneLabUL for sci comm projects. Image
And here's the rubric - I borrowed heavily from @KaneLabUL for this!! It was simple and I was able to give lots of feedback because it really took no time to grade these - they were too fun! ImageImage
