EP254 An instant way to have fewer assignments to grade
No, the answer is not throwing the whole stack in a recycling bin. (Although it's perfectly fine to toss out some assignments from time-to-time.) And, the answer isn't to give more assignments digitally. That can help make assessment more effective and efficient, but the pile-up of student work awaiting feedback online can feel just as daunting as a stack of papers.
This episode will help you explore ways you may be overcomplicating the assignments you give or your approach to assessment, and think outside the box about how to streamline.
I'll share how to instantly reduce the assignments you need to grade, and help you uncover your own answer to the following questions:
- Is there ONE type of assignment that I'm giving to students which is taking me forever to grade, and that I might be able to reduce or change up a bit?
- What can I do to experiment or push back on expectations this year, in order to make my grading workload more sustainable?
