Jesse Stommel shares about Undoing the Grade on episode 483 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The only wrong way to do something is to do it unintentionally, to do it in a way that isn't carefully thinking through what we're doing.

For us to be talking about something like unlearning or ungrading, there's an irony in that because we are the people who need to do that work the most and the people for whom that work is probably the hardest.

Quotes from the episode

It's about being present.
– Isis Artze-Vega

The relationship that you have with someone does not have to be this long sustained, always impactful kind of relationship. That one short conversation with a student may be the words or the sentence that they need to hear that day.
