Letting students grade themselves means they’re less stressed

Good news for Columbia University undergraduates of modest intelligence: Your graduate instructors are being taught to let you grade yourselves.

The Ivy League university’s Center for Teaching and Learning is hosting a five-part “Inclusive Teaching Seminar” this spring, covering topics including “learning through diversity, growth mindset, microaggressions and implicit bias, trigger warnings, stereotype threat, and inclusive assessments.”

It’s intended for graduate and postdoctoral students who are “committed to creating inclusive classroom environments.”
