Abstract

Ungrading is an educational approach focused on shifting student focus away from earning points and toward intrinsic? motivation (Blum 2020, Strommel 2020). By removing traditional grading systems and instead centering on learning goals,? feedback, and self-reflection, students are encouraged to focus on the learning process and the joy of discovery. This sounds? exactly like a mission statement for laboratory courses, but how do we do it??
