Kritik Research Session:
Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy

Save time on grading while enabling students to creatively demonstrate their understanding of materials.

The new reality of higher education has also brought a new set of challenges to educators and students: How do you facilitate a social-academic community when you can’t see anyone face-to-face without spending countless hours grading? During this session, we will explore how leading educators such as Dr. David Wang and Professor Laura Reid have successfully introduced calibrated peer-assessment and group-work into their courses leading to time saved, and higher levels of knowledge retention and critical thinking amongst their students. Additionally, we discuss how this newly freed-up time affords professors the opportunity to do more personalized coaching, and to focus on the students who need their help the most.
