Students aren’t ignoring your #feedback—they’re responding to your #grading system. Here are 3 simple ways to make feedback actually matter. higheredpraxis.substack.com/p/tip-make-fee… @AcademicChatter @Momademia @academia #academictwitter #highereducation

We argue that supporting meaningful change in grading requires more than one-off workshops. Institutions should invest in sustained professional learning communities & collaborative support structures that help faculty experiment, reflect, and adapt over time.
