Workshop: Alternatives to Timed Exams
August 21, 2025 at 9:00am – 10:00am EDT
Bird Library, 550 (CTLE)
Looking for a teaching strategy that will maximize accessibility in your classes while simultaneously hugely reducing stress for you and for your students? Consider using, whenever possible, assessment alternatives to high-stakes timed exams and quizzes! In this workshop, we’ll review some of the drawbacks to utilizing timed exams for assessing student learning and explore a variety of other options for encouraging and measuring authentic student learning. We will be offering two sessions of this workshop: one via Zoom and one in-person.
