Stop Weighing Your Pigs! Why Are We In Thrall of Grades? (Part 1) with Dr Martin Compton

In this episode, Martin and I discussed a thorny issue - ungrading. Should we grade our students or not? What good or harm can we do to our students by giving them bad grades? Or really good grades? What do grades mean in their development anyway? Is it time to stop giving grades and focus on giving personalised and constructive feedback? We most definitely talked about the art of giving feedback that will actually mean something to our students, which is not an easy thing to do but it is worth it in the long run for everyone.

Dr Martin Compton is an Associate Professor in the Arena Centre at UCL.
