Our host just published a blog post that is a behind-the-scenes look at a task tracker she's developed over years of managing teaching teams (from 3 to 36 teaching assistants).

Here is a great blog post reflecting on changes in an alternative grading discrete math course. We especially appreciate the framing around changing things so students are really using the assessment feedback loop and AI is not breaking it.
