Task Prioritization

Do create a list Don and see what happens. It sounds like you have made a reasonable assessment about yourself today and that there's some opportunity for improvement. This is a good place to start. It's only up from here.

Go ahead and give Quickstar a try Michelle. It definitely works for other instructors.

Streamlining the Grading Process

Sounds like you have a great system Abunido. Multiple choice and fill in the blanks are both quick to grade - especially when students write their answers out to the side of each question.

This is true Michelle! We can't be good at what we do when we do everything at once. Quality takes a hit.

Streamlining the Grading Process

It's nice to be able to provide students with quick feedback. At the same time, sometimes out schedules don't permit this kind of turn around and we need to set expectations instead.

Coping with Stress

This is all true Abunido. Experience is perhaps the best teacher when it comes to dealing with stress and setting our own expectations.
