Jeff Horton<p>One of the curious things about teaching to me is that the school and other instructors encourage me to be rigid, deadlines are deadlines, but I keep wearing my manager hat and have more allowances in my classes. </p><p>I'll accept late work, as long as you communicated. I get that some things didn't make sense to you yet because you don't have all the context, and we can talk it out before you submit.</p><p>This apparently is weakness, I think it is human.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grading</span></a></p>

Shantell Powell<p>When I was a Classics major, I had a professor with absolutely no concept of how grading worked. Every week, he'd give us a quiz. The first week, there were ten questions, and I got eight right. So my mark was 80%. The next week, there were nine questions. I got all nine correct. My mark was 90%. Another time, there were eleven questions. I got ten right, so my mark was 100%. </p><p>I spoke to him many times explaining that his grading was messed up, but he never understood. </p><p>Math does not come easily to me, but here I was trying to teach him basic arithmetic. It didn't work. Everyone had to challenge their marks every week. <a href="https://c.im/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/numeracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>numeracy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a></p>
guyjantic has moved!<p>Years ago I saw a <a href="https://c.im/tags/meme" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>meme</span></a>: a person (kind of blurry?) sitting in a comfy chair in their living room with a stack of papers to grade. There was also an alcoholic <a href="https://c.im/tags/beverage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beverage</span></a> on a side table. It said something like "Believe me, you want to be on the bottom of this stack."</p><p>I've looked but I can't find that meme. I need it.</p><p>I'm in the last throes of grading (intro <a href="https://c.im/tags/statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>statistics</span></a> team projects). I just graded two very bad projects--obviously thrown together (by a team of six people?) at the last minute--and the amount of <a href="https://c.im/tags/CYA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CYA</span></a> I had to go through in response to complete half-assed lack of effort by someone else (on a lovely evening when I am stuck doing this) is frustrating.</p><p>The next few projects are probably, realistically, going to get the kid-gloves treatment.</p><p>Oh, wait. I don't have a drink. Maybe that's what's missing.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/teacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teacher</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professor</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teaching</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>highered</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/frustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>frustration</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>teaching</span></a></p>

guyjantic has moved!<p>Stiudent: I just don't understand how I could have received such a low grade.</p><p>Fantasy me: Oh! I'm sorry, I watched you work hard for this exact grade every week this semester, so I'm surprised to hear you say this wasn't your goal.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/notInRealLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>notInRealLife</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>professor</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/college" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>college</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>university</span></a></p>
Denial 🐔 Shown<p>This semester i tried an experiment in partial <a href="https://c.im/tags/LaborBasedGrading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaborBasedGrading</span></a> practices in my <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a> policies. This seemed appropriate for a class that is supposed to teach real world software development, aka labor in the sector. This was modeling expectations and practices from "the real world" . </p><p>Some assignments were deadline restricted, but they were either entirely subjective personal reflections or regular group project progress demos. In this case the timeliness itself was one of the most important things to learn. The tests and other assignments with relatively objective factual content allowed for multiple attempts until the correct answers were identified. In this case, doing the work to identify correct answers, even if it took a while, was recognized. </p><p>Overall I'd say it was reasonably successful. It was my first time teaching this particular class, and there are still some tweaks I would make. It worked well enough that I'm going to adopt it in some tweaks to a course I'm teaching next semester that I've taught before.</p>
Jim Twombly<p>One class done and submitted. Shooting for one each on Saturday and Sunday. <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a></p>
Jim Twombly<p>Didn't meet my <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a> goal for the day, but did make significant progress. More tonight.</p>
Katya Ivanova<p>I really could not hate <a href="https://c.im/tags/grading" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>grading</span></a> more than I already do.</p><p>The grading itself is a pain, especially if it's written work. But the administration is an absolute nightmare! I just uploaded 91 (!!!) files on Canvas for a total of three assignments because of all the different ways that we have to provide <a href="https://c.im/tags/feedback" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>feedback</span></a> (in text, in grading matrices...). </p><p>How many people are in my course? 23!!!</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Teaching</span></a></p>
