Less might be more: What do you really want your students to know? What do they really need to be assessed on? Think back to your course competencies and use those to guide your adjustments.
Give students options: Let them choose the assessments they want to complete. This flexibility can provide them with a little relief from uncertainty as it allows them to complete a project that utilizes their strengths and interests (it can make grading more interesting for you, too).
Use rubrics whenever possible. This alleviates student worry by outlining specific expectations and criteria and it can help to streamline your grading.
We recommend sticking with assessments that can be done asynchronously. For example, if you are considering having students do presentations, it might be easier to have them record video presentations using the VidGrid guest recorder.
