Ungrading: Rethinking Assessment in the Classroom

Presenter(s): Jeff Allred (English); Allen Strouse (English); Austin Bailey (English, WAC Fellow)

A number of prominent voices in the academy have questioned not just how we grade, but why we grade altogether, arguing that our usual modes of grading send the wrong message to students and discourage deep learning. In this panel, we will hear from two English professors who have explored alternatives to traditional grading in their courses, with an overview of the topic from a third. [Details...]

Learning and Assessment in Administrative and Educational Support Units (Encore)

Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Assessment), Brian Buckwald (Student Affairs)

Units outside of academic programs are increasingly called upon to assess their practices, with added specific emphasis on those units who support and further student learning and development outcomes. In this workshop the presenters will help attendees recognize what and where student learning occurs in such units and recommended resources to help support an evidence-based approach and reaccreditation efforts. The workshop is open to all interested but particularly directed at staff in administrative and educational support units. Please bring your unit mission statements, goals, and – if you have them already – your learning outcomes. [Details...]

“Of Course They’re Learning, They’re Graduate Students!”: The Assumptions and Needs of Graduate Assessment

Presenter(s): Joel Bloom (Provost Office), Rob Cowan (Arts & Sciences)

While academic departments and programs at Hunter College have been conducting assessment of student learning outcomes (SLOs) in their undergraduate programs for some time, assessment of learning outcomes within our graduate programs is far less widespread as well as less developed. The co-presenters will begin with some background on assessment of student learning, and will discuss similarities and differences between SLOs – and SLO assessment – between graduate and undergraduate programs. The workshop will include an interactive activity in which participants work together to review their current graduate outcomes and assessment plans or activities, and help identify ways in which they can be enhanced or improved. The workshop is open to all interested but particularly directed at assessment coordinators, chairs, and faculty in departments with graduate programs. [Details...]
