Managing Clerical Duties
In the online environment, clerical duties have increased and can be very time consuming depending on class loads. Taking a specific time each day to address these can minimize the demand and stress. Also making students aware of this schedule can also minimize stress on the students as well in regards to waiting for a response.
Great information here to learn from.
In our office my office mate & I answer Clerical before class. Once class is done we split the pick -up of hard copy. while one answers the other is pick-up & delivery. Then the other answers while the 1st is class prep. Once the other is done then the 1st does pick-up while the other does class prep. By the time we return to class both have had time to print & distribute while the other is in prep. Dis not make senice for both of use to run to the printers & mailboxes & still get ready for class.
Scheduling time to try and knock out those clerical duties with no other distractions is a great way to make sure things get done, otherwise people will continually take up your time.
