A learner contract - innovative assessment approach
I just stumbled upon Dave Cormier’s learner contract, a more personalized way that allows students to choose what kind of effort they want to put in the course for which grade. Maybe it’s not new, but I have never heard of it.
Student work in this course is evaluated by ‘contract’ – meaning that each of you decide how much work you would like to do for what grade. Individual assignments are given a ‘satisfactory’ or ‘unsatisfactory’ assessment upon completion, with the option for you to resubmit unsatisfactory assignments within a given timeframe.
