This project is exploring student and instructors perceptions of and experiences with various alternative grading practices, through conducted interviews with students and faculty about experiences with alternative grading.
Current research activities focus on instructor participation in faculty/professional learning communities exploring alternative grading, through pre- and post-surveys and participant reflections.
