    Dear Zora, 

    Thank you for conveying Resolution 71: Grade Transparency. I am returning this resolution to the Assembly for further discussion.  

    I encourage the Assembly to work with the Director of the Office of the Assemblies to arrange a meeting with the Faculty Senate’s Education Policy Committee, in partnership with the Center for Teaching Innovation, to explore the challenges students are experiencing around receiving and understanding feedback throughout the semester and potential mechanisms for mitigating these difficulties.  

    Sincerely, 

     

    Michael Kotlikoff
