Specification Grading
Facilitated by Ashley Green (Sociology)
The author of this book is Linda Nilson. Specification grading is an alternative to "normal" points-based grading systems that considers equity and mastery to be core goals.
The Opposite of Cheating
This book, by Bertram, recognizes that AI detectors seem destined to lose the technology arms race we find ourselves in and instead considers a range of practical ways to guide students towards making choices that support their learning.
All books will be provided by the CTI.
