Type of Session
Event
Abstract
This presentation discusses the topic of labor-based grading from the perspective of both the student and teacher. Labor-based grading boosts students’ performance in class and the way they view themselves; and, it creates a more equitable relationship between the professor and the student. Drawing from renowned Composition and Rhetoric scholars, as well as her own experience, Dr. Rachel McShane presents a case for why labor-based grading is not only more inclusive but fosters an environment that encourages creativity, growth, and learning from which both students and teachers can benefit.
