Technically, There Are No PAPERS To Grade...

...but there's a crapload of digital work to go through, and grading digital work is slower for me than actual paper work.

I'm doubtful that it will get much faster.

BUT all of this is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm forced to be pointed in what I want to grade; therefore, I will probably stop giving busy work (good for everyone, right?). Secondly, the reason it takes so long is because I comment on good stuff and bad stuff. I write out the student's grade and give feedback. The final product is a thoughtfully graded exercise. It's what I would want from a teacher if I were getting graded.

Bonus Perk: It's one big electronic student portfolio. Ta-dahhhhhhhh!
