Faculty teaching undergraduate courses in Mathematics, Engineering and Statistical Science participated in a Faculty Learning Community over the last year, funded by a Duke Learning Innovation Carry the Innovation Forward Grant. Faculty (and three undergraduate students) met every three weeks to discuss recent literature on inclusive assessment practices, including reading the book Grading for Equity. Faculty piloted modifications to their classroom assessments to be more inclusive, and one of the undergraduates shared her perspectives on assessment and grading at Duke though an opinion piece in the Duke Chronicle.

In this session, four of the participating faculty will discuss their experiences in modifying their assessment practices and how their experiences last year are informing their assessment practices going forward:

• Rebecca Simmons, Associate Professor of the Practice, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science
• Shira Viel, Assistant Professor of the Practice, Mathematics
• Sophia Santillan, Associate Professor of the Practice, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science
• Sarah Schott, Associate Professor of the Practice, Mathematics 

An earlier panel on the same topic witih different panelists will be held Sept 12, 2 - 3 pm; consider registering for and attending both.
