126 - AI-Aware Teaching, Mastery Quizzes, and the Future of Grading with Derek Bruff
Episode 126
Tuesday, 9 December, 2025
What happens to grading when AI can do so much of what we’ve traditionally asked students to do by hand? In this episode, Boz and Sharona talk with educator, author, and podcaster Derek Bruff about his three-stage journey into mastery-based assessment, from early test corrections to coordinated mastery quizzes to rebuilding exams in a cryptography seminar—then zoom out to the upcoming Alternative Grading Institute at UVA, where faculty will redesign courses around specs, standards-based, and collaborative grading in response to pandemic-era lessons, public skepticism about higher ed, and the rise of generative AI.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.
