Sounds like you have some opportunities to save a significant amount of time Scott. I'd invest in the scantron idea first, then work on the underlining and highlighting method.

Coping with Stress

Sounds like an excellent plan Warren! Note that all of these approaches are great, but you don't have to accomplish them all at once. Doing one thing at a time and seeing how that benefits you is a great way to get into things.

Causes of Stress

Sounds like a great plan Debbie! It's nice to take just a few minutes at the start of each day to come up with a good plan of action for how you'll accomplish things. Then you can really move forward with confidence.

Task Prioritization

Sounds like you have gotten more organized over the years Susan. It's nice to take the time to develop an approach that works best for you. Knocking a few quick tasks off the list early is a great approach.

Streamlining the Grading Process

Sounds like you have a great system in place Manual. With no homework, you have far less grading to complete. And true / false as well as multiple choice formats can be graded by the scantron machine or very quickly by hand.

Excellent Ronald! It's nice to start with a few good templates as a foundation. You can build off of them with your own take on the course material when you have the time.
