Effectively and Efficiently Assess Written work Remotely
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2020 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
A common difficulty encountered teaching online math courses is the instructor’s ability to effectively and efficiently assess student’s written work. In this session, we will share how incorporating weekly written homework and reflections helps students develop meta-cognitive skills related to their learning. This talk will also feature a tool, Gradescope, which allows instructors to assess and grade students’ handwritten exams during remote learning. Prior to remote learning, these exams were proctored in person and submitted on paper. We will provide practical tips and strategies for you to use these tools and techniques in your online or remote classes.
