Alternative grading practices seek to improve learning and make education more equitable. For the past few years, our community has been exploring these techniques and contextualizing them for use in computing courses. In this session, we will present various grading techniques with a particular attention to the experience implementing them and pitfalls to be avoided. The presenters all have extensive experience exploring alternative grading techniques. Furthermore, we hope to engage the audience in a conversation about the nuance of implementing these particular techniques in the variety of courses that are typical in computing programs.
