This page provides scholarship and other resources for alternative forms of classroom assessment, including contract grading. I composed this space specifically for teachers of higher education writing courses curious about going gradeless or mitigating the harm of grades.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Visit this page for information about my courses. All audiences welcome, but the descriptions are primarily written for SFSU students wondering about the classes I teach.

In this location, you will find my professional documents, including my CV and selected philosophy statements. These are always in process.

My academic blog with rough draft ideas, PhD assignments, teaching questions, and creative projects is on this page.
