In the space of one week, all four classes had exams… I’d say this was bad planning if it was the result of any planning at all.
The first day after exams, I graded for 3 hours and got a third of them done.
The next day, I graded for 2 hours and got 1/6 done
… By yesterday morning, I was down to 18 papers
By this morning I was down to 6
Tomorrow morning, I’ll finish the last 3
Then I’ll begin looking at revisions from the first class, and it begins again.
