BIO Teachers Retreat 2022

bioCEED hosted a teachers retreat for BIO at UiB 28 and 29 November in Voss. This two-day meeting was organized around the theme of “Assessment,” and to that end we discussed grading policies and costs (Anne Bjune and Sigrunn Eliassen), evidence-based assessment and test anxiety (Sehoya Cotner), and updates from the 100 Club on the Redesign Project (Jarl Giske). Anders Goksøyr shared recent experiences with peer assessment, and Aurelia Lewis talked about PhD-level course offerings. We spent most of our time in workshops, led by Anne Bjune (fieldwork certification), Rob Gray (rubric development), and Roy Andersson (peer assessment). It was good to be back to a relatively “normal” post-corona retreat schedule, and we look forward to meeting again in late 2023!
