The Center for Teaching and Learning is pleased to offer its first Fireside Chat, "Ungrading as Critical Pedagogy: Transforming Assessment and Centering Student Voices." Join us as we offer this interactive discussion and Q&A with Dr. Jesse Stommel on October 6, 2021 (2:00pm-3:45pm). Jesse Stommel discusses ungrading as part of a radical, decolonizing and holistic pedagogical approach that offers students a sense of ownership over their own education.
