This project is exploring student and instructors perceptions of and experiences with various alternative grading practices, and specifically labor-based grading. Working with colleague Prof. Indigo Eriksen, we have conducted interviews with students and faculty about experiences with alternative grading. We have one article in press, expected summer 2024: “Reduced Stress through Agency and Autonomy: Community College Student Perspectives of Labor-Based Grading,” with Teaching English in the Two-Year College. We are currently working on a publication about instructor experiences with alternative grading.
