Joel Brady, PhD, Teaching Consultant and Program Supervisor, Graduate Student Teaching Initiative, University Center for Teaching and Learning

One of the most significant challenges in a large enrollment class can be developing and deploying assignments and assessments which allow students to practice and demonstrate skills at an appropriate level of challenge and depth. It is particularly challenging to do so while acknowledging practical constraints on an instructor’s time, associated with high grading volumes. This session will introduce some practical strategies for grading and providing feedback effectively and efficiently in large enrollment courses.
