Ungrading in a Buddhist Studies Classroom

This roundtable discussion answers a variety of questions about ungrading in a Buddhist studies classroom, including the nature of ungrading, its strengths, and potential drawbacks. An ungraded class gives no (or minimal) numerical or letter grades. Instead it employs extensive narrative feedback for assessment and guidance, revision opportunities for improvement, student metacognitive reflections, and increases students’ empowerment over their own learning. Panelists will share their specific gradeless pedagogies when teaching Buddhism and related topics.
