Motivated by Grades ... not Learning
Manage episode 316508031 series 3013017
In this episode, we discuss our frustrations with various grading systems and how they can have harmful effects on students. Grades are a powerful motivator but have become a poor substitute for what really matters. There may be some alternative ways to assess student performance ... but we run out of time! We need to come back to this discussion in a future episode.
