Climate C2.3: Emphasizes to students that making mistakes is a normal and healthy part of the learning process

Practices

  • Normalize mistakes by admittance of own mistakes as the instructor [1]

Activities

  • Corrections assignments reward effort and growth rather than penalizing mistakes. Students can submit work and solutions to things they got incorrect on an exam for a return of some or all of their lost points.
  • Metacognitive “exam wrappers” to support students’ reflection on their performances in exams
