Faculty Panel: Enhancing Learning with Low Stakes Assessments

Wednesday, October 27th; 12:30pm - 1:45pm
246 Hesburgh Library

Moderator:

Alex Ambrose, Professor of the Practice, Director of Learning Research, ND Learning | Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence

Panel:

Sonja Mapes, Associate Professor of the Practice, Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Mathematics
Rachel Branco, Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Neuroscience & Behavior
Kelley Young, Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry

A panel of faculty from Math, Chemistry and Neuroscience will share lessons learned when moving from a few high stakes assessments (exams) to more frequent low stakes assessments (quizzes) and in one case providing a mastery-based learning opportunity. Panelists will discuss why they made the shift, how it worked, and what they will do next. Ample time will be reserved for Q&A.
