Ungrading

A short one today, to encourage you to read this thread from C Thi Ngiuyen on how he's challenging students' understanding of grading:

OK, tried out a new unit in my intro to philosophy class, and it is my new favorite unit: "Are Grades Bullshit?"

I have never seen intro students more intensely engaged, more edge-of-their-seat, and more mind-blown.

Suffice to say here that his ideas resonate a lot with my own, but he's in a position to do more about it with his class. For those of you who are bound to your institutional requirements on grading and assessment, this is still a really useful discussion to have, with both students and colleagues.
