How do we grade in a manner that is rigorous enough to represent the standards of the department,
yet fairly reflect student ability and effort? What about grading on a curve?
Please join us. Our panel will discuss their issues briefly, followed by a group discussion. You may be
busy, but this discussion will be worth your time. Bring a lunch; we will provide bottled water and dessert.
We would love to hear your thoughts on grading!!
