Frequent, Low-Stakes Grading: Assessment for Communication, Confidence - 0 views

  •  
    What do classes look like as you move from infrequent, high-stakes assignments and exams to frequent grading of low-stakes activities? Warnock makes a number of claims, backed up by the literature - students become more confident and motivated, there's less incentive to cheat, the dialogue between students and faculty improves.
