Grading can be learning, for both students and teachers.

In this whitepaper, explore assessment as a data-filled intersection with great potential to inform teachers about teaching efficacy and assessment design while improving student understanding. 

Best practices feel like ivory-tower notions—they’re true, but often impossible to implement. 

• Frequent formative assessments are touted as a key factor in fostering student learning, but how can you do that and teach? 
• Item analysis is an important way to promote exam quality, but in a large lecture course, who is going to crunch that data? 
• Personalized feedback is crucial to supporting the student learning journey, but who has that time? 
• Rubrics are a critical component of fair assessment, but managing them with a team of human graders with unintended biases is a lofty task.

Gradescope by Turnitin brings these best practices within range for instructors to execute by bridging pedagogy with on-the-ground assessment.
