    Learning About Grades from an Emerging Failure and Special Guest Emily Donahoe
    Sep 18 2025
    Emily Pitts Donahoe shares what we can learn about grades from an “emerging failure" on episode 588 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode They introduced a framework that attempts to identify the common features of alternative grading for growth systems that are meant to prioritize student growth and student learning over just grades and performance. -Emily Donahoe Those four pillars are marks that indicate progress, reattempts without penalty, clearly defined standards, and helpful feedback. -Emily Donahoe One of the most important functions of grades or marks given on individual assignments is to communicate to students about how they're progressing in a certain subject. Traditional grades don't serve this communicative function very well. -Emily Donahoe Resources Unmaking the Grade, Emily Pitts Donahoe’s blog and reflective journal chronicling one educator's experiences with ungrading and other progressive teaching practices Grading for Growth: A Guide to Alternative Grading Practices That Promote Authentic Learning and Student Engagement in Higher Education, by Robert Talbert & David Clark Grading for Growth How Humans Learn: The Science and Stories Behind Effective College Teaching, By Joshua R.

Quotes from the episode I've also started creating these little quiz questions in them, but they're not hard. They're just to keep their attention going. -M. C. Flux Many students seem to enjoy this and actually learn well from it, so I keep doing it. -M. C. Flux I think these students struggle so much with attention that bringing them back with a really simple question just helps. -M. C. Flux The fact that students have shorter attention spans is still something we need to pay attention to. I don't think it's as bad as people say, but it is actually still a big piece of how I design instruction. -M. C. Flux A lot of students are used to rewatching things that they enjoy. -M. C.

Quotes from the episode I am not interested in being in a war with AI. I'm not trying to be a faculty detective to see who's using ChatGPT or not, I didn't sign up for that work. -Bryan Dewsbury I'm not your enemy. I'm not against you. I'm rooting for you every single day. I really mean that. -Bryan Dewsbury The things I say on day one are not going to mean anything over the course of the semester if I don't give them feedback in a reasonable time or if I'm rude when they answer a question wrong in class. -Bryan Dewsbury The way in which we can interact around this material doesn't have to be one that's dictatorial. -Bryan Dewsbury You don't have to be able to save the world, but you're obligated to try, right? And so the whole key behind that is in trying, you almost by definition achieve more. -Bryan Dewsbury Resources Toward a Humanist and Agentic Paradigm of Inclusive Teaching—Lessons from the United States Civil Rights Era for College Pedagogy, by Bryan M.

  • A Different Way to Think About AI and Assessment

    A Different Way to Think About AI and Assessment
    Aug 21 2025
    Danny Liu shares a different way to think about AI and assessment on episode 584 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Our students are presented with this massive array of things they could choose from. They may not know the right things to choose or the best things to choose. And our role as educators is to kind of guide them in trying to find the most healthy options from the menu to choose from. -Danny Liu People want to give their students clarity. They want to give their students a bit of guidance on how to approach AI, what is going to be helpful for them for learning and not helpful for learning. -Danny Liu There is no way to really know if the rules that you're putting in place are going to be followed by students, and it doesn't mean that we need to detect them or surveil them more when they're doing their assignments. -Danny Liu We need to accept the reality that students could be using AI in ways that we don't want them to be using AI if they're not in front of us. -Danny Liu Not everyone lies. Most of our students want to do the right thing. They want to learn, but they have the temptation of AI there that is saying, I can do this work for you. Just click, just chat with me. -Danny Liu Our role as teachers is not to be cops, it's to teach and therefore to be in a position where we can trust you and help you make the right choice. -Danny Liu Resources Menus, not traffic lights: A different way to think about AI and assessments, by Danny Liu Talk is cheap: why structural assessment changes are needed for a time of GenAI, by Thomas Corbin,Phillip Dawson, &Danny Liu What to do about assessments if we can’t out-design or out-run AI? by Danny Liu and Adam Bridgeman Course: Welcome to AI for Educators from the University of Sydney Whitepaper: Generative AI in Higher Education: Current Practices and Ways Forward, by Danny Y.T.
