Laboratory exercises represent a common component of many science and psychology undergraduate courses. These laboratories provide students with an opportunity to engage in concepts and experiments in a practical environment. Students are often required to summarize their methods, findings and what is already known in the literature in the form of a laboratory report. It can be the TA/GA’s role to grade these laboratory reports, which they must do fairly and consistently, while providing useful feedback to the students. This workshop will focus on efficient grading of laboratory reports. Attendees will learn strategies for providing effective and useful feedback to students. Through the use of examples and group exercises, attendees will learn to efficiently grade laboratory reports, while providing effective feedback to their students.
