Summative grades can interfere with the very learning they are supposed to represent. Find out how and what you can do to ensure learning, and not the number, is the focus.

Strategies will be presented on how to include the student as an active particpant in the assessment process so they may engage with feedback where learning becomes the focus instead of grade acquisition.
