On grading essays (and procrastination)

If you don’t read tomorrow’s professor mailing list yet, I encourage you to do so. Post 1360 looks at grading (essays specifically, but also just grading in general). The posting ends with sound advice that can be applied probably very generally:

1. Work in moderation, a little bit each day, rather than procrastinating and bingeing.
2. Remain fresh and alert by taking breaks when needed.
3. Practise going a bit faster while maintaining quality.
4. Aim to do what’s good enough, not at perfection.
5. Redesign the task to make it more interesting.
