Yes, setting expectations is the key Jessica and it sounds like you've got that down. Our students do not necessarily need immediate feedback. They just need clear expectations on when feedback is coming.

Excellent plan John! Go ahead and start small. Even if you fit exercise into your life just once a week, it's a great step in the right direction.

Causes of Stress

Sounds like you have things under control Micka. And you're right. Sometimes stress is negotiable. Other times it's really not. In your situation, stressors can't be eliminated.

Streamlining the Grading Process

This is true Brian. It's also nice to get students feedback quickly when we can. Some instructors are able to do this. Others are not due to time constraints in their schedules. In they end, we have to work to best serve the needs of our students while also setting reasonable expectations of ourselves.

Yes, go ahead and try to slow down Frank. I rarely recommend this approach but immediacy can be a challenging problem and detrimental to ones schedule.
