<p><label style="display: none;"><span class="ds_b"></span></label>Kevin Markle will share his experiences with assessing students on their class participation both in class and online in his course AFM 361, Taxation.</p>
<p>Kevin used a variety of participation measures in this course, including contributing to class discussion, postings to an online discussion and a self-assessment component. All participants at the session will be encouraged to share how they have assessed
students on participation in their courses and there will be a discussion of the level of objectivity that we can use to grade participation and the weighting of this component in a course grading scheme.</p>
<p>Please join us for this session, <strong>Friday, March 15th, 10:30 – 11:30 in the Flex Lab</strong> and pass this invitation on to any of your colleagues who might have an interest in this topic - all are welcome.</p>
