Ungrading: Self-Assessment, Effort, and Motivation.
- Authors
Davis, Hannah T.
- Abstract
The article discusses the author's hesitation in grading student writing after guiding them through a writing process. It highlights a study comparing traditionally-graded, portfolio-graded, and ungraded sections of a writing course. It raises questions about the effectiveness of self-assessment, particularly when used as a summative tool. The author reflects on the performative nature of students' self-assessments, emphasizing the need to shift to formative self-assessment.
