Grading is one of the most common responsibilities of a TA, and ensuring fairness and consistency is essential for maintaining student trust, motivation, and academic success. This interactive workshop equips TAs with the knowledge and tools needed to establish equitable grading practices. Participants will explore common grading biases, such as the halo effect and recency bias, and learn practical strategies to mitigate them. A key focus of the session will be the effective use of rubrics to enhance objectivity and clarity. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on and identify potential biases in their own grading processes and brainstorm actionable solutions.
