SERIOUS request to fellow ungraders: a young colleague at another uni is getting pushback from chair about #ungrading. Can you please reply with your favorite evidence of ungrading’s efficacy in terms of content learning as well as other benefits?
I know we have all faced those skeptical colleagues. Please help a budding superstar who is trying to do the right thing. #ungrading
*This colleague has given permission for me to make this appeal.
