David Clark discusses using alternative grading practices to foster student learning on episode 511 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Does this represent what I really care about?
-David Clark
Most of us are used to giving feedback in some way, but making it helpful is the tough part.

A reassessment always needs some reflective parts, some metacognition, because that's part of the feedback loop.

Points used for grades are a judgment call that results in a label.
