Reply To: Lesson 3.1: Helpful vs. Unhelpful Grading Practices – Discussion

[Christopher Ernst]

The biggest takeaways were the questions that students/parents ask. I’ve been asked that many times. I always allow retakes on any assignment, but this created a bunch of work in terms of grading, and the majority of the time the students wouldn’t significantly improve their score or understanding. This made me think it was because the assessment tools and grading I was/am doing doesn’t meet those 4 guiding principles.

While Fresh Grade and Google Slides are awesome, I’m wondering if Canvas (the LMS that my district is moving towards away from Google Classroom) has the ability to do something like this?
