Faculty Panel: Enhancing Learning with Low Stakes Assessments

Victoria Goodrich, Associate Teaching Professor, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
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.
