Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) (Teaching and Learning in Higher Education)
5 out of 5
Rebecca Earnest–
honestly, one of the best non fiction reads i’ve done in a while. it made me think about my own teaching practices and truly look at what i’m doing in the classroom with regards to grades. the impact of something as simple (or not) as dropping grades altogether is worth starting a movement for. i’ll be strongly considering updating and shifting by my grading in the upcoming years, that much is for sure.

There were a few excellent chapters in this book (Blum's for sure) - the first two and one near the end. However, most chapters appeared to be loosely organized with random thoughts about the experience of grading. It felt that the book was written by 10 separate authors who only tangentially overlapped on the theme presented. I was hoping for more depth and reflection. That said, the several chapters were worth the price of the Kindle book and some very good resourcew were provided, There were a few excellent chapters in this book (Blum's for sure) - the first two and one near the end.
