Episode #5: Big Classrooms, Big Challenges: Navigating Assessment in Large Science Courses
In this episode of Crowdmark Sessions, host and CEO Michelle Caers speaks with Dr. Phillip Delekta and Dr. Katherine Krueger from Michigan State University about the realities of teaching and assessing in large-enrollment science courses. With classes that enroll hundreds — sometimes thousands — of students, how do instructors keep feedback meaningful, ensure consistency across large teaching teams, and help students truly engage with science?
Phillip and Katherine share their approaches to active learning, collaborative teaching, and scientific practices, including why building students’ ability to argue from evidence is so critical in today’s classrooms. They also look ahead to the innovations — and challenges — shaping the future of higher education.
