Excellent! It's great when an institution goes digital because they automate a lot of processes and procedures. Instructors often find themselves being more productive at the education piece.

Coping with Stress

Yes, it's so important to take a step back and look at the big picture Mervin. So many instructors forget to do this and can get lost in the day to day minutia of life.

Task Prioritization

It's good to hear that you've identified the specific challenge that you're dealing with. That's a great first step Angela. Sometimes just putting a name to it helps us face the challenge and deal with it.

Coping with Stress

Yes, this is true Eric. While establishing a good system is a time investment, it can have great rewards. When a good system is in place, we can focus on getting the work done and are often more productive.

Streamlining the Grading Process

Yes, oral presentations are great and can easily be graded in class. Also, students learn from each other as they watch their classmates present and critique them.

Streamlining the Grading Process

Interesting challenge Jennifer. I wonder what would happen if you found a way to give an incentive to students for turning in their assignments early. I imagine this might produce more early deliveries than on time or late. You might give this a try.
