Dr. Laura Gibbs is a professor of humanities at the University of Oklahoma, teaching mythology and folklore online, challenging her students to develop higher-order Bloom Taxonomy along with 21st Century skills as they explore the content of her courses. Laura contributed a chapter to the book Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learn (and What to Do Instead) titled “Let’s talk about grading.”
