I think this approach is really cool! However, I can see how this takes alot of time and high school teachers are underpaid/may not ave enough time to provide students with this level of attention.

I like how this provides teachers with concrete things to do instead of giving grades. However, it looks like this is also a systemic issue (ie administrators, college admissions, all need to also adapt to ungrading)
-
s.
I know Yale law school got rid of grades. they have a pass, no pass and honors system.
-
posting grades on-line is a significant step backward because it enhances the salience of those grades and therefore their destructive effects on learning.
YES! I find myself checking my grades really late at night or obsessing over what I got instead of sleeping.
-
even possible, to measure those things
I like this distinction
-
Extrinsic motivation
I try to get good grades because I rely on scholarships. Better GPA, better chance of getting a scholarship. Plus, in order to keep my scholarships, I have to maintain my GPA.
-
nd.
If there is so much research done on the negative effects of grading, why do we still do it? Isn't UCSD a research based institution?
-
tests are not a particularly useful way to assess student learning
I agree! I find that I get really stressed out during exams or dont prioritize the things that the professor wants me to because I find other things more interesting
-
I was writing for a grade
relatable! I find myself writing for my TAs

es, the term transnational highlights their maintenance of tribal iden- tities, even if they are not officially enrolled or federally acknowledged
i like how they are emphasizing agency
-
must take into account the perseverance of colonialism for indige- nous women.
yes! Resistance and individual grit is important to emphasize. Otherwise, it just becomes a negative light where there is alot of trauma being highlighted
-
traditionally mar- ginalize
why are these marginalized? is it result of white supremacy ?
-
However, racism was everywhere and I considered that a given.
it's unfortunate that this is the reality women of color face
-
Remember that, at least where I'm from, if a woman had black eyes, it was referred to as "Indian love
centuries of colonialism have created violence against women. I hope they can find healing.
-
I was emotionally overwhelmed by this racism and sexism
again why feminism and social justice movements need to be intersectional. individuals who carry multiple identities need to be centered and protected
-

it's unfortunate that there weren't readings :( shows how academic is white centered

interesting how men felt threatened by feminism. I noticed within latinx associated spaces on campus that I wasn't really allowed to talk about feminism. I was always meant by criticism from men for not being a "traditional" latina.

class differences can impact how individuals view feminism/have different needs

I love how the author talked about her mom. Oftentimes social justice figures are thought to be only academics/scholars so its nice to see how anyone can be impactful.
-
e."13 Allen fully recognizes that not all Native women are happy with a white feminist analysis. Some of this, she believes, is because Native women are ill informed about the larger issues of feminism, sexism within their communities, and whit
this is why feminism needs to be intersectional!

feminist. Like Shanley, she didn't feel as though she betrayed her Native community and the label did
I think its interesting how being a feminist is being seen as not part of racial group. I think colonization might have something to do with this since colonization imposed patriarchal standards.
-
However, the important difference between Native women and other women, according to Shanley, is that we pro- mote tribal sovereignty
Feminism needs to be intersectional. If it's not intersectional and cognizant of different identities, then it's not feminism.

I like how the author focused on both the academic work and interpersonal connects they had with Medicine. Oftentimes I feel like academia is not personal and detached from human connections so I appreciate how the author talks about Medicine holistically.

I think I can relate this feeling. Some family members/friends think I am weird/odd that I am a feminist and have shown their disapproval.

I noticed how the author mentioned each scholar by tribe. I think this shows the diversity of tribes. Mentioning their tribes adds agency and highlights how they still have sovereignty.

rmination, so Indian femini
I like this quote since mainstream feminism has often been dominated by white feminists. It introduces an intersectional lens.

forcibly relocated to Indian territory with the promise of tribal autonomy.
I might add that the land they were forcibly relocated to was not a viable living environment
-
Nations with small populations, like the Seminoles and Chickasaws, feared that they would be subjected to the power of more populous nations
I think the US experienced a similar fear....small states feared that they would be over powered by larger states which is why we have a bicameral congress
-
The Cherokees refused to ratify because they feared how it would be interpreted by the US Congress.
a reasonable fear
-
citizenship
was this citizenship defined by american citizenship or tribal citizenship?
-
Abolition of slavery, with all enslaved people being freed and incorporated into the tribe or “suitably provided for”
this seems hypocritical given that the US had slavery !
-
Natives were considered to be culturally and intellectually inferior to whites
racism
-
Native land was believed to ultimately belong to the United States
this is a sign of the settler colonialism mentality !!
-
the US recognized the status of Native nations as diplomatic entities.
so the US wants to work with Native nations and wants Native nations to help them fight the British but not actually want to give them representation/land in the US?
-
gave a lot of power to the states.
why wasn't the petition for statehood respected later on?
-
And it is further agreed on between the contracting parties should it for the future be conducive for the mutual interest of both parties to invite any other tribes who have been friends to the interest of the United States, to join the present confederation, and to form a state whereof the Delaware nation shall be the head, and have a representation in Congress
this makes it seem like there is mutual respect....but obviously that was not the case
-
Delaware Nation resisted White Eyes’ efforts, especially his proposal to allow a new settlement for white settlers near the Delaware so that they could learn European methods of agriculture and civilization.
this sounds like assimilation
-
the legal title was never secured.
I think this is a repeating theme throughout history
-
He [King George] has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.”
wow,even before the US was a thing, it is evident that there were already racist sentiments towards native americans
-
George Washington, who had bought thousands of acres in veterans’ claims to “bounty” land. Thomas Jefferson, who had participated in three different ventures that would have yielded him a total of 17,000 acres of land, were it not for the restrictions placed on the land from the Proclamation. Patrick Henry, who had joined in at least five land ventures between 1767 and 1773, and knew that his money would have been wasted if London had its way.
I think its really interesting how traditional US history glorifies and romanticizes these men when they actually just wanted land that was not theirs to begin with
-
Colonists who settled on this land did so illegally, but speculators could not evict them because they could not establish that they had clear title to the land while the proclamation remained in force.
I think this shows how the idea of private porperty is enriched in american legal understandings and in this case, enables white colonists to oppress and invade native land
-
the British gave them “two blankets and a handkerchief out of the Small Pox hospital.”
this shows that the British did not win battles because they were "better", I think its important to recognize the role disease played in colonization
-
Nativist refers to a revival of indigenous cultures/religions in the face of acculturation— emphasizing the power and superiority of Native traditions over the traditions, religions, goods, life-ways, and culture of Europeans. [1]
Is the use of nativist here different from what contemporary nativist means (ie anti-immigrant, xenophobic)?

Initially Robbins announced that any project or test could be improved and resubmitted for a higher grade.
my 8th grade algebra teacher had the same approach. i often redid homework and/or tests to get a higher score. I also tutored to get extra credit
-
they take so much less time than meaningful assessment.
this makes me sad. i wonder what type of support would be needed to provide teachers with so that they could create meaningful assignments
-
unnecessary things to children now in order to prepare them for the fact that just such things will be done to them late
unnecessary catches my attention ! If we don't need to do it, why spend so much time and effort? it seems like everyone is taking the things we do for granted and not questioning our practices
-
It has already been done successfully in many elementary and middle schools and even in some high schools, both public and private (Kohn, 1999c)
I know that Yale law school has a similar system where honors/pass/fail is given (still ranking but at least there is something more qualitative)
-
Finally, “standards-based” may refer to something similar to criterion-based testing, where the idea is to avoid grading students on a curv
honestly i hate grading on a curve. i don't know professors would want to fail students
-
It’s not enough to add narrative reports. “
does this mean that letters of recommendation and/or written feedback should stand alone? how will this work when other social biases and prejudices may be at play?
-
* It’s not enough to tell students in advance exactly what’s expected of them.
does this mean that students get to be more creative in their learning process and how they showcase it?
-
Portfolios, for example, can be constructive if they replace grades rather than being used to yield them. T
I agree . I think my letters of recommendation and my essays are a much better indicator of how good of a student I am/prepared i am to go to law school than other standardized testing scores.
-
Quantification:
I think that quantifying learning is impossible to do so accurately and honestly invalidating to me as a learner. I don't like how many law schools and other opportunities use almost scores exclusively to determine admittance.
-
They may skim books for what they’ll “need to know.”
yup ! this is true, i tend to study for the test and do not look at what i find interesting because what i find interesting may not help my grade
-
Grades create a preference for the easiest possible task.
I think this is especially true at ucsd with the quarter system. It not that I don't want to learn, its just that there is not enough time for me to fully engage with the material
-
the use of letters or numbers as evaluative summaries of how well students have done, regardless of the method used to arrive at those judgments.
I never liked test and getting scored on test. I felt that such standardized testing was not a way to show how much I actually knew. I would study hard but sometimes get low test scores.
-
.Suddenly all the joy was taken away. I was writing for a grade
I can definitely relate to this! I often felt that the rubrics were designed by teachers who wanted to tell me what they thought was good writing. When I got to my senior year of high school, I realized that I didn't have my own writing style.
