MAILING LISTS

Dear Marina,

Some TBL folks do not grade applications at all as the process of sharing
answers simultaneously opens up yet another opportunity for learning as
teams discuss their responses amongst teams.

In my first year undergraduate social science (geography) class I’m working
to support student's skills to identify, use and cite their evidence, so Im
not grading "right" answers but grading their capacity to create an in-text
citation and a reference. They have midterm and final individual writing
assignments that need to demonstrate evidence and identifying the source
effectively so getting that feedback 7-8 times in a semester works well in
developing that skill.

I love Phil's idea about giving folks the full grade and then deducting -
he's getting at the much broader issues of engagement and understanding.
Very inspiring.

Manda
