Teachers’ Lounge | Lessons from a Pandemic: Testing and Trust

Register here.

How has the experience of running classes online clarified what is important about traditional ways of measuring our students’ knowledge and capacities? What adjustments have we needed to make when designing and giving tests for students in order to navigate the emotional and logistical challenges of this difficult and unsettled time? Join us for a frank discussion of topics such as proctoring, maintaining or relaxing standards, accommodations, and trust.

Teachers’ Lounges are a series of informal discussions for graduate students about teaching practices and the culture of learning at Columbia. Since many classes have shifted online this semester, Teachers’ Lounges are linking theories and models of online instruction to insights derived from working in digital learning spaces with Columbia students.

This session is facilitated by Mark Phillipson and Chris Chen from the Center for Teaching and Learning.
