“Grading for Equity,” often referred to as “no zero grading,” is growing in popularity, but there still is much confusion and misinformation surrounding this approach to student evaluation.

Against this context, we’ll discuss the benefits of these approaches as well as address faculty questions and concerns. This material is based on “Grading for Equity,” by Joe Feldman.
