It’s difficult to overemphasize the importance of timely grading. For students, it provides feedback regarding their understanding and application of content and helps them monitor their progress toward successful completion of your course. For the instructor, it gives insight regarding the need to reteach important concepts that the class, in general, hasn’t yet grasped and identifies individual students who might need additional support (from the instructor or one of UNO’s Academic Support Centers).
These suggestions can help you stay on top of grading.
Set aside time each week to grade. If you don’t have an assignment to grade that week, use the time for something you enjoy.
Don’t grade everything. Some assignments can be spot checked.
Use rubrics. These expedite and increase the consistency of your grading.
Consider peer reviews. Peer input can deepen learning and enhance performance for students giving and receiving the feedback.
Communicate your timeline by letting students know when grades for important assignments will be posted. This will add a level of accountability for you.
