In this episode of the podcast, we will focus on process-based assessment and student study habits. The topic of grades will be discussed and how to use assessment as a mechanism to support learning versus grades. Elizabeth provides us with concrete examples of how to not use grades in a writing class as well as how this can transform the student experience to take more risks and have more authentic learning experiences. We will also have a brief conversation about why Elizabeth formulated these ideas into a book called "Hacking Student Study Habits."
