Design Workshop: We will work through Chapter 11 of the Grading for Growth book – this is an opportunity to put into practice what we have read and talked about, by re-designing a course grading scheme. Participants from all FLCs will gather via Zoom on Wednesday, May 20, 10am-2pm.

NOVA-GMU Charrette: A charrette is an opportunity to collaboratively design and get feedback from peers – bring in-progress grading scheme drafts to share in this full-day workshop on Friday, June 5 (in-person at the NOVA Annandale Campus).

Research Participation: You are invited to participate in a research study exploring your experience in these learning communities. Participants who complete a brief post-meeting reflection (5-7 minutes) after each meeting will receive a $50 gift card, and participants who attend the design workshop and charrette are eligible for another $50 gift card.
