Grade fewer things, more carefully
Not every task needs a grade. Check practice for completion and spend real feedback time on key assignments.
Use a comment bank
Most comments repeat. Keep a numbered list of common feedback and write the number plus one personal note.
Rubrics students see first
A short rubric shared before the task makes expectations clear and grading faster and fairer.
Do this today
Write ten comments you use most often for your comment bank.
