"Labor Based Grading: From Student to Teacher"
Presented at Collin College's "Trends in Teaching Composition: 2025," this presentation discussed the topic of labor-based grading from the perspective of both the student and teacher. Labor-based grading boosts students’ performance in class and way they view themselves; and, it creates a more equitable relationship between the professor and the student. Drawing from renowned Composition and Rhetoric scholars, as well as my own experience, I present a case for why labor-based grading is not only more inclusive but fosters an environment that encourages creativity, growth, and learning from which both students and teachers can benefit.
Included is a transcript of the talk, a sample paper used for the activity mentioned, and a PDF version of visual materials.
