In this AskPsychSessions RE-RELEASE feature, Marianne speaks with Jasmine Mena from Bucknell University. They cover the basics of labor based grading  — an approach that evaluates students on the effort and labor they invest in their work rather than traditional quality-based standards. She discusses how this method empowers students with agency over their learning, and incorporates scaffolded assignments, reflection, and compassion into the classroom.
