10 + 10 Pop-Up Series: Saving Time with Alternative Assessment Strategies
Tue 1/13 • 10AM - 10:20AM PST
What if you could grade less, while still providing students with meaningful assessment experiences? This session explores how alternative assessment strategies—such as completion grading, peer and self-assessment, and “ungrading”— can ease your grading burden while supporting students in developing key skills.
Presenter: Sammy Solis, Assistant Director for Teaching Development, Instructor Engagement and Educational Development

Each academic quarter, the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) hosts a weekly series of 10+10 Pop-Up sessions on Zoom. These brief, 10-minute presentations focus on specific topics related to course design, teaching, learning, and assessment, and are led by instructional designers and developers from TLC and campus partners. The “+10” refers to an optional 10-minute discussion following each presentation, where participants can ask questions and share insights. These sessions are open to all UCLA instructors—including faculty, lecturers, instructors of record, graduate student instructors, and postdoctoral scholars.
