On behalf of Transformative Learning in the Humanities:

Practicing Ungrading: Why and How with Susan D. Blum
Tuesday, October 26 @ 4-5 PM EST

A one-hour virtual workshop with Dr. Susan D. Blum, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame and editor of the collection “Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead)” (West Virginia University Press, 2020)

What is “ungrading” and why is it having such an impact right now? Dr. Susan D. Blum, professor of anthropology at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the nation’s leading experts and practitioners of the combination of evaluative practices loosely known as “ungrading.” In this interactive workshop, Dr. Blum will discuss the reasons why it is important to think about our grading practices—where they come from, how they do or do not promote or inhibit learning, and what better ways and models are available.
