click to download pdf of an example from \u201cgrading effectively and efficiently\u201d workshop facilitator nancy chick, assistant director of the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nanother and even more desirable way to lessen the grading burden is to collect better and better student work.\u00a0 okay, don\u2019t knock me on the head for saying that.\u00a0 i know it\u2019s obvious and of course what we want, but how do we get there? let\u2019s see if this additional step helps.\u00a0 make sure you\u2019re not the only one tracking the students\u2019 progress throughout the semester;\u00a0 require them to do so as well.\u00a0 i don\u2019t mean you should simply have them keep track of their grades.\u00a0 instead, i mean something more intensive, something that guarantees they\u2019ll read your comments and<\/em> develop appropriate strategies for improvement.\u00a0 (of course, they then have to implement those strategies, but if they write them down, they\u2019re more likely to stick to it.)\u00a0 so as you develop a way of tracking their progress from paper to paper or exam to exam (strengths, weaknesses or \u201careas for improvement,\u201d and strategies for improvement), require students to do the same.<\/p>\nsuch a document can be helpful to you and to the students.\u00a0 you can keep it handy while grading, noticing any patterns of improvement or the lack thereof.\u00a0 students can keep it handy while drafting or studying, using it to build on their strengths, focus on their weaknesses, and apply their strategies for success.\u00a0 notice how this simple technique facilitates students\u2019 metacognitive checking-in on their writing or studying processes.\u00a0 such self-assessment\u2014here guided by your feedback but translated into their own explanations and strategies\u2014helps students develop a habit of regulating their own learning (boud and falchikov; shepard; nicol and macfarlane-dick).<\/p>\n
so cheer up, drained by grading.\u00a0 soon, you\u2019ll be grading with a swift pen and spending more time on other things.\u00a0 i vote for the whiskey.<\/p>\n
