basically though it all unfolds into now having papers to grade. but I am trying a new system wherein I grade just a few every day until they are done. the ridiculous thing is that as the instructor I only have to grade 1/3 of the papers each go-round so I have little room to complain about workload. but even so, I can put off grading 8 papers with just as much drama as I could put off grading 50.
two down.
