Spring 2024
Journaling and Codesigning Grades as Data
Note this DRG is full for Spring 2024 and no longer accepting applications.
Open to full-time undergraduate students. Non-HCDE majors are welcome to apply.
The objective of this research group is for students to attain a deeper understanding of how they interact with their grades, if they recognize grades as data points, how grades make them feel, and if there are practices around using grades that connect to the broader ideas of critical data literacy.
Students will engage in reflection on how they interpret, interact with, and perceive grades as data throughout the academic quarter. This includes:
- Weekly journal entries
- Weekly in-person meetings with co-created discussions and activities
- Two passes of autoethnographic data analysis on the journal entries
- Potential artifact to sum up learning throughout the quarter (zine, skit, grading method, etc.)
2 credits of HCDE 496
Meeting time: 2:30-3:30pm on Wednesdays in-person
This work is part of a larger research project to understand grades and feedback as data. Students will have the choice to consent to additional analysis of their journal entries and discussion/activity data to be analyzed and used for further research outcomes.
