Haven't we been here before?
I feel like an academic Bill Murray in Groundhog Day after another long day and night of grading projects and updating grades for the semester.
I've been cheered up by a string of birthday greetings from Facebook friends throughout the day. It's given me something else to think about for a few minutes.
I've switched to digital project score sheets, typing comments into the same basic template that originally spelled out the project description. I feel confident the scores are based on a thorough evaluation, not just a general reaction. This sheet should help students understand their grades.
Do they even care beyond the satisfaction of an "A" or the frustration of a "D"? I have no clue. I might just as well throw darts at a target and accomplish the same thing as far as they are concerned.
Still to do tonight: create the last remaining project score sheet for Media Design videos. Tomorrow morning I'll review & score them, total the grades, and post the last batch of grades. Yippee.
