The Center for Teaching and Learning offers many interesting and useful tutorials, and we encourage you to take some time and explore the ITeach Center portion of our website.  You might be particularly interested in some of these tutorials: Designing Plagiarism-Proof Assignments, which provides insight about assuring that students do their own work; Motivating Students, which gives suggestions for engaging the interest of your students; and Classroom Management Strategies and Classroom Incivility, which are resources for developing and maintaining functional learning environments.

One other great source for learning about grading is the following book:

Effective Grading: A Tool for Learning and Assessment (Barbara E. Walvoord and Virginia J. Anderson). San Francisco, CA: Jossey Bass, Inc., 1998.
