Mathematical Association of America's video: Build a Syllabus An Introduction to Mastery Grading Webinar

Heard of Mastery Grading but not sure what it is? In this webinar, we introduced the core ideas of Mastery Grading and walked you through a “Build-A-Syllabus” activity to demonstrate the basic nuts and bolts of creating a Mastery Graded university level math course. Some of the questions we answered include: why do we grade? (what is the purpose of grades?); do grades measure what we want them to?; what messages (implicit and explicit) do we tell students about grades and the grading process?; how does Mastery Grading provide an opportunity for more equitable grading practices?; what does an instructor have to do to get started with Mastery Grading? Webinar Hosts: Sharona Krinsky, Kate Owens, Justin Dunmyre, Thomas Mahoney, Emily Cilli-Turner, & Chad Wiley Learn more about MAA Programs: maa.org/programs Check out the Q&A and chat from the live session: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18SGwyFMCtM6pLkZRilsgsIOC6D98IzdSPb8LTF75IwQ/edit?usp=sharing
