Task Prioritization

Streamlining the Grading Process

Yes, go ahead and give that a try Mary. It's great when you can elicit conversation between students around class assignments. It really gets them thinking about course topics in new ways.

Mark, go ahead and use the method that helps you make the most progress. If it's motivating to start with a few easy tasks, do those first.

Whatever works David! You don't have to worry about how your system looks to others. It's really about how effective it is for you. That's all that counts.
