Joshua Eyler, the author of Failing Our Future: How Grades Harm Students, And What We Can Do About It (JHUP 2024), is among the leading experts on grading reform. Praised by the likes of Cathy N.

In every case, however, the answer keeps coming back: fundamental reform is necessary. Join us for a lively and perhaps surprising conversation about a too often taken-for-granted core academic practice.
