Ungrading with Drs. Candis Bond and Trent Kays

Have you ever felt that traditional grading methods fail to accurately measure student learning?
In this episode, we explore an innovative approach called "ungrading" that challenges the traditional grading system. Drs. Bond and Kays discuss how ungrading does not mean no grades. It means a shift in focus from grades to student autonomy and learning.
Ungrading can also help you highlight how mistakes, continuous feedback and revisions are crucial to your students’ learning process. We also explore how this approach can promote equity, increase student motivation and ultimately impact learning.
On this episode, Candis Bond, PhD, Director of the Center for Writing Excellence at Augusta University and Associate Professor of English, and Trent Kays, PhD, Director of College Composition and Assistant Professor of English, share their experiences ungrading their courses.
