Description:
On Oct 27th, 2021, a panel of faculty from Math, Chemistry and Neuroscience will share lessons learned when moving from a few high stakes assessments (exams) to more frequent low stakes assessments (quizzes) and in one case providing a mastery-based learning opportunity. Panelists will discuss why they made the shift, how it worked, and what they will do next. Ample time will be reserved for Q&A.
Panel Members:
- Sonja Mapes, Associate Professor of the Practice, Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Mathematics
- Rachel Branco, Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Neuroscience & Behavior
- Kelley Young, Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry
Moderator:
- G. Alex Ambrose, Professor of the Practice, Director of Learning Research, ND Learning | Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence
