November 2 - 8, 2012 - Grading Papers

Correcting 12-17 pages of writing by OB students took me a very long time to do!   One paper would literally take me over an hour to grade.  I had my APA book, the rubric for the assignment to check off for content, an online source for grammar, and much much patience.  I did not realize how time-consuming grading written papers was going to be for me until I started the process.

Every night when I would finish grading several papers, I felt like I had worked on a very very difficult homework assignment of my own, one in which I had to think really really hard about.   I told my professor that I have a new found respect for nursing faculty!
