in a slow chat, we spread questions out over a week; please feel free to chime in about any September question:
https://t.co/P4ZGNtard1

Q1 In what discipline(s) do you teach? What is ONE distinctive feature of your discipline(s) that affects your #ungrading?
#UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/TaITzA02Cu

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300792897068040195

A1: I teach writing, and a crucial feature for me is the inherent SUBJECTIVITY of writing assessment. students are more attuned to the arbitrariness of grading when it comes to writing than in other subjects I think... hence glad for all-feedback-no-grades :-)
#UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/lMH2Ybxv5G

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300793414615814146

A1: I primarily teach English, so most of the labor that my students perform is writing. #ungrading is almost a necessity here because grading students based on a single, usually problematic, standard of communicating is harmful #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/PmmfufSsi7

http://twitter.com/KWMathias/statuses/1300799255217672192

http://twitter.com/KWMathias/statuses/1300799255217672192

A1: re: writing, all of us in academia are writers, and many (most? all?) of us appreciate how difficult writing is, expressing your thoughts to present & future audiences in all their diversity.
writing is HARD, & we know it.
writers need feedback, not grades #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/jXb1neofib https://t.co/cQVR5fDzam

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300800443417853954

A1: Like @OnlineCrsLady, I teach writing (college comp. at a community college). For me, the idea of feedback's transformative power is what makes #ungrading work for my students. Before, I was using feedback simply to rationalize the grades I awarded! ☹️ #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/w8kZCiUk2A

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300807559285178375

@dbuckedu SO TRUE for me too!
and students also lose out on the value of feedback, looking to the feedback simply as a gloss on the grade, rather than seeing feedback as an essential part of a writing process where the goal is meaningful GROWTH, not just a grade.
#UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300808003784970241

@OnlineCrsLady Yeah, when students see themselves in their writing, all a grade does is judge their self-worth according to an arbitrary standard. When we provide feedback, we recognize Ss personal excellence, honoring the "flow" involved in their mastery! #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300809242404937728

I teach English Comp at a community college. Been reading about ungrading for a while. I even graduated from college using written evals. Finally starting to do it!

I'd like students to focus on learning & collaboration, not how many points each task is #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/epaQZDLVji

http://twitter.com/LauraSoracco/statuses/1300809680344604674

@KWMathias Love this idea that writing labor does not need a grade! Instead, it simply needs to be recognized, valued, and responded to with meaningful feedback. Process over products! #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300809797420318720

Love the connection between collaboration and learning! I use labor-based grading contracts in my writing courses. I assign students to 5-member "Labor Support Groups" where they can see the interconnectedness in their learning. We labor alongside our peers! #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/FfRQyTjt8H

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300810285784203264

grades are backward-looking (judgment), but feedback is forward-looking (growth).
I see my role as promoter of growth, not as dispenser of judgments.

A1: @OnlineCrsLady has mentioned the power of growth and consistently employs the growth mindset with her students. I've tried it in my current courses and have found students love the support it provides. Here's a nice graphic from Kristin Wiens @kwiens62. I #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/o1MxJdb9O1

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300813965350580224

for me, sharing information about growth mindset is the best way to help students start thinking about school WITHOUT GRADING... here's how I start sharing mindset stuff in Week 1 of class: https://t.co/XrdkP5q0ti ...I learn A LOT from their mindset blog posts.
#UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/n80v0U3dIE

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300815456102739969

Very thorough description! Here's how I present it -- "As you progress through the labor of this course, I encourage you to practice a growth mindset. Establishing the right mindset will help you approach each labor task as an opportunity to grow and improve!" #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/H8DimKYkIs

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300815975470821376

@dbuckedu And while we as instructors know that writing is something that exists outside of ourselves and can be criticized, many/most of our students don't see it that way. They see themselves being graded, not their writing. Better to leave that evaluative aspect out. #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/KWMathias/statuses/1300816095583010816

@KWMathias Agreed! Perhaps the fact that students perceive the grade as a judgment of themselves (and their self-worth) is THE best argument for #Ungrading in writing courses. Thanks for this point, Keith! #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300816708605796352

The positive effects of #ungrading remain true, no matter the discipline. Sure, it may look different in a writing course compared to a math course, but the student remains the constant, as well as the damaging impact grades have on learning. #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/MpNb7sldKe

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300822910442102784

A1: I teach SCIENCE! A lot of people think you can't ungrade in a science course, but of course you can. It does require some thinking about what the goals are for your course. Science if full of facts that are usually memorized - I don't buy into that. #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/su95bevggZ

http://twitter.com/hsmiceli/statuses/1300825722387394560

@hsmiceli Interesting! So what are some alternatives for Ts who believe they must test for content knowledge? The attractiveness of simply assigning a multiple-choice exam worth 100 points is perhaps too great for some teachers. How do you use #ungrading with assessment? #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300829731655487495

@hsmiceli Love this idea for metacognitive practice! Perhaps #ungrading in this way provides your students with more opportunities to share their mastery than simply making correct exam choices, and you can learn more about them than just by a grade on an exam! #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300831508236828675

@scottgr60613 that's why I'd like to see P/NP for Gen. Ed. in particular; if depts want to rate & rank students as they complete the major curriculum, okay, maybe that serves their bureaucratic (not educational) needs.
but using Gen Ed for a GPA boost serves no purpose IMO.
#UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300834495164289029

@mcjsa @scottgr60613 exactly. the way I motivate students to work hard in my classes (and they do! writing is HARD...) is by taking grade crapola off the table.
after that, then we can actually get to work.
chasing the easy A wastes everybody's time... esp. when we have work to do!

Ungrading has already paid off for me just two weeks into my US history class. Instead of spending my time entering points for low-stakes weekly tasks, I have engaged with students and provided feedback. Less busy work = more engagement = better conversations! #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/jFJhUddJpY

A1: I teach Spanish, moving from an intro middle school role back to an upper level HS role this year. Language learning lends itself well to ungrading as everyone progresses at their own pace and finds success and growth in unique ways. #ungradingslowchat https://t.co/3SBVhtUE2v

http://twitter.com/AlyceWeikel/statuses/1300862556601540608

@mcklann Such a great point! #Ungrading leads to a more meaningful usage of time. The "busyness" related to point accumulation and figuring grade percentages is no longer. This reclaimed time can be repurposed into actual engagement with students' learning process. 😄 #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1300867810323816448

A1 I realized something from #UngradingSlowChat earlier today: I teach writing, but I do that in the field of "General Education" ...is Gen. Ed. a discipline? IMO ungrading and P/NP are best options for Gen. Ed. I wish we had P/NP grading for all Gen. Ed. classes at my school

http://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/statuses/1300945712071483392

A1 cont: Blog posts are a non-traditional space to reflect on explorations; It’s clear from the contents if a student understood the text.

I used a portfolio model they could revise and in reflections they indicated a grade by semester’s end. 2/

http://twitter.com/tinebeest/statuses/1300962654031425540

@tinebeest Love this idea that #ungrading removes the teacher as the sole evaluator or consumer of students’ intellectual production. Having peers read and respond to one another builds a learning community that grades could never build! #UngradingSlowChat

thanks to all who chimed in yesterday; here's today's question for Sept. #UngradingSlowChat:

A2: Most of the resources I've used for writing have been wonderfully curated by
@OnlineCrsLady on our website: https://t.co/Xi4y6RGYC4. But some favorites practices have been labor-based grading contracts, self-assessment reflections, blogs & peer comments. #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1301179320388464641

A2: Don't mean to show bias toward fellow writing colleagues, but I think the writing/language arts area is where conventional grading can do its worst. Writing is such a personal & vulnerable practice--when we place our name on the page, we share ourselves. #UngradingSlowChat https://t.co/ELkSmYfGxE

@OnlineCrsLady @SusanDebraBlum Maybe off-topic, but it just occurred to me that the un- prefix is used repeatedly to "fix" what's wrong in traditional educational practices. #unessays, #ungrading, and maybe others? It's like the fight to "undo" these harmful practices is a full-time thing! #UngradingSlowChat

http://twitter.com/dbuckedu/statuses/1301924557478125575

@SaritaYShukla and I think motivation is big pitfall people fear: if they see grades as motivating (and so many college faculty do, and probably K-12 also?), then when there are no more grades, they have to think about motivation in new ways.
and that can be hard, even scary.

at least that was the talk in my grad school.
