submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

Thursday, January 24th | 1:50-3:00 pm, OGC 100

Grading practices and grade inflation are topics that can evoke passionate responses from both faculty and students. However, in this session, we ask an essential question: should grades exist at the university level? Please visit http://inside.augsburg.edu/ctl/ to find this post with video links to view prior to the event.

Joaquin Muñoz, Assistant Professor of Education, will facilitate what is sure to be a spirited discussion with multiple perspectives to be presented for debate and reflection.
