    grading

    Well, yesterday I collected rough drafts of my students' first assignment.

    I teach three classes, of roughly 25 students apiece. Each of those students must complete four assignments over the course of the semester (five, really, but I've combined two into one two-parter). For each assignment they complete, they write a rough draft and a final draft, so eight drafts total. 75 students x 8 drafts apiece = 600 drafts. I can grade no more than four per hour, which means that I face 150 hours of grading between now and May. (Er, I mean between now and December. Forgot what semester it is there for a second. Gah.)

    I have graded 16 papers so far. Only 584 left to go.
