There is a strong trend in academia toward learning management systems like Brightspace and toward maintaining student visible gradebooks, which have strong benefits for other courses but not, I think, for mine. I note that:
- I do not use LMS systems, which I find difficult to integrate with the technology stacks that achieve core instructional goals for courses within the computational sciences.
- I do not use a student visible gradebook because I use ungrading, which I have found to be associated with stronger achievement from students in demanding courses.
Reach out via official school-provided email if you want a grade check or cannot find some course materials.
Best,
