Ep.03: Marks are NOT for Students (Part One)
Do marks represent what you have learned? This week Kris challenges Jordan as he explores the idea that present methods for evaluating academic achievement may be more admin than academic. We discuss the grading metrics widely applied in modern education institutions and how our way of awarding marks may have unexpected consequences. We dive deeper still to assess the potential pitfalls and available solutions from the point of view of students and educators alike. Jordan offers a uniquely astute perspective by way of his experience as both pupil and master. \n\nQUOTE: "Don't let your boy's schooling get in the way of his education." ~ Mark Twain\n\n#FrivolousGravitas Links: \nChannel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg \nFB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 \nRSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml \n\n If you like this discussion please like or share the video with someone who may find it interesting.
