Rigor and Assessment from the Student Point of View

Dead Ideas in Teaching and Learning - A podcast by Columbia University Center for Teaching and Learning - Thursdays

How can assessment motivate students to focus on learning as opposed to grades? Can it still be rigorous if it’s not high stakes exams? Today we speak with Maryam Pate and Olivia Schmitt, two Columbia University undergraduate students who serve as Teaching and Learning Consultants as part of the CTL’s Students as Pedagogical Partners Initiative (https://ctl.columbia.edu/faculty/sapp/). Maryam and Olivia reflect on their experiences with different types of assessment and the impacts on their learning.
