1 Hw t Save Time in the Grading Prcess Barbara E. Walvrd, Ph.D. Prfessr Emerita, University f Ntre Dame Interim Directr, Center fr Excellence in Teaching, Simmns Cllege walvrd@nd.edu Guidelines 1. Establish clear instructins and standards ahead f time. Share with students. Rubric? List f criteria fr an A? List f qualities yu will lk fr? 2. D nt spend the mst time n the wrst papers. 3. Cnsider gateway criteria and share with students. 4. Suit the respnse t the situatin and purpse: a. Draft respnse t guide revisin b. Final grade, but student can use these suggestins fr the next paper c. N further papers in this curse 5. Identify what yu want the student t d and t learn. Is this a teachable mment? 6. Find ut what the student knws. Lg shwing hw much time was spent and hw, and If I had mre time t revise this paper, I wuld. 7. Select a medium: written respnse, synchrnus ral cmments (face-t-face r nline), r recrded ral cmments. 8. Respnd t mst imprtant issues first. Dn t verwhelm the student with cmments. 9. Select key instances f a prblem; dn t mark everything. 10. D nt edit grammar and punctuatin. Instead, ensure that the student has edited r gtten apprpriate editrs. Mark a sample passage r paragraph fr illustratin. 11. Fcus n what the student can d next. 12. Respect the student s space and authrship. Chse the lwest respnse level that yu think will be effective: a. Lwest: reflect yur reading experience: I was cnfused here. b. Middle: Suggest mre than ne pssible change c. Higher: Suggest nly ne pssible change d. Highest, mst directive: rewrite the passage 1

2 Example 1: 100-level curse in Western Civilizatin Assignment (summarized): In 5-8 pages, prpse t the ruler f a hypthetical natin a type f gvernment that wuld be the best slutin t 17 th century anarchy in Eurpe. Draw n yur knwledge f the 17 th century gvernments we have studied. Respnse t Draft: Instructr makes an utline as he reads; shares it with the student: Intrductin: Facts abut 17 th century anarchy Thesis: strng gvernment is best slutin t anarchy Alternative 1: Descriptin f French abslute mnarchy Facts: What it did Alternative 2: Descriptin f English mixed gvernment Facts: What it did Thesis: English mixed mdel wuld be best slutin t anarchy Instructr Writes Final Cmment n Draft: This essay puts frward a very clear thesis that a strng gvernment is needed t end anarchy. After reviewing alternatives, yu end by saying that a mixed gvernment n the English mdel wuld wrk best fr ur hypthetical natin. What is missing here is argument and evidence in favr f the thesis that yu state s clearly. WHY wuld this system wrk s well? Listen carefully in class when we g ver the kinds f evidence that wuld wrk, and read the class website page n Using evidence fr histrical arguments. Remember that the revisin must be well edited fr grammar and punctuatin. Yu have sme its/it s cnfusin and sme sentence fragments, plus ther issues. The Writing Center can help. Marginal Cmments n Draft: At end f alternative 1: Yu have described the facts abut the French mnarchy, but nw I wnder hw effective it is in ending anarchy? At end f alternative 2: Yu have described the facts abut the English gvernment, but nw I wnder hw it cmpares t the French system in ending anarchy? Next t the statement that the English mdel wuld be best: I m nt cnvinced, because yu have nt given me argument and evidence abut WHY the English mdel wuld be the best slutin fr anarchy. Rubric 2

3 Respnse t Final Revisin: Rubric fr final revisin, with new mark. Cmment n Final Revisin Yu began t prvide evidence and argument abut why the English mdel wuld be the best slutin t anarchy. Keep wrking n this issue f evidence and argument in yur next papers. Example 2 Assignment: Research paper. Student has chsen gun cntrl (INSTRUCTOR S COMMENTS ) WHENEVER SOMEONE ANSWERED HE Whever answer the questin wrng had t put the gun t his head and pull the trigger. FINALLY ONE MAN MADE A MISTAKE, AND WHEN HE PULLED THE TRIGGER HE WAS KILLED INSTANTLY. The man answered the questin wrng He pulled the trigger and was killed instantly. AS DANGEROUS GAMES The thers were arrested and charged with accessries t a murder. Dangerus games LIKE THIS COULDN T HAPPEN IF GUNS WERE NOT SO EASILY AVAILABLE. like this culd lead many peple t be killed r jailed. TOO OBVIOUS TO MENTION. Paper n childless wmen. Same student, different class: I want t talk abut a tpic which is nt talked abut ften childless wmen. Believe me, there are wmen ut wh d nt want children just as much as wmen wh d. Childless wmen aren t as equally respected as their maternal cunterparts. They are cnsidered selfish wmen wh are nt ding their duty. Instructr Writes: Yu need a mre definite thesis. What d yu believe abut this? What s yur argument? (Sternglass, Marilyn. Time t Knw Them, 1997, p. 126) 3

4 Example 3 Assignment: Summarize in ne page a scientific article fr an audience f yur classmates. Learning Gals: students wuld learn hw t read, understand, and summarize bilgical literature. Students wuld als get an idea abut hw bilgists wrk and hw they present their wrk t thers. Student Writes: (I have numbered the sentences fr ease f reference in the wrkshp) (1) The purpse f this study was t examine the rle f activity in prey selectin. (2) The first f three experiments reprted herein examined the rle f prey activity when a Red-Tailed Hawk (Bute jamaicensis) was ffered a chice between tw live prey animals. (3) The secnd experiment examined changes in prey activity preferences when the hawk was ffered tw cmparatively large prey animals. (4) In the third experiment the hawk was ffered tw prey f different weights t determine if this wuld affect the selectin against mre active prey. (5) In the first experiment the hawk preferred the mre active f the tw prey animals when n ther differences were apparent between them. (6) The secnd experiment varied in its results. (7) If ne f the large prey was relatively inactive, the hawk went fr it. (8) Over many trials, hwever, the preference fr the less active animal was ften replaced by a high-activity preference if the hawk was successful in subduing the larger animals. (9)Experiment three shwed a clear preference fr heavier, less active prey. (10) Cmparing the data in experiment ne, shwing a strng preference fr the mre active prey, with the third where the larger prey was less active and still preferred, may have demnstrated a tendency in the hawk t chse the apparently mre prfitable prey item in terms f relative bimass. Walvrd, Helping Students Write Well, 2 nd ed., 1986, p Article summarized is Rn L. Snyder, Sme Prey Preference Factrs fr a Red-Tailed Hawk. AUK July 1975: ) NOTE: what is nt clear in this student s summary is that the 2 nd prey was rats, wh are capable f injuring a hawk, and the 3 rd prey was chicks, wh are nt. Par. 1 is almst directly quted frm the 1 st paragraph f the article; final paragraph is almst directly quted frm the final paragraph f the article. Respnses by Varius Instructrs in a Wrkshp #1: I wuld like t see a mre cmplete explanatin f the prblem these experiments seek t address. What is at stake? What pssible cmbinatins culd r culd nt have resulted? In fllwing thrugh yu need t take anther lk at sme f yur sentences (see ntatins) fr clarity. #2: It appears that there are three main factrs that yu want t discuss (size, activity, weight) and then want t cmpare. Am I crrect? If s, write ne paragraph fr each (T = 4 paragraphs) r ne paragraph in which all three factrs are discussed. At present the cntent f each paragraph is nt apprpriate. Can yu explain this article using yur wn wrds, nt the article s? 4

5 #3: I had truble figuring ut the prey activity f the hawk. Perhaps if yu put each experiment and result tgether this wuld help. #4: Yur infrmatin appears t me t be accurately presented frm the surce yu cite. Yur abstract is successful t a pint. I like yur preview sentence. A few suggestins: 1. Begin with an rienting sentence r tw befre yu state yur purpse. 2. Watch yur spelling, misused wrds, redundant wrds, etc. a. apparent, p. 2 b. herein, p Amplify each experiment a bit mre. 4. Grammar if ne f the were, p. 3 Last sentence needs rewriting t act as a residual r summary. Avid clsing withut summary. #5: Jack, yu d well t begin with a clear statement f the purpse. Next yu seem t utline first the chices ffered in each experiment and then the results f each. But the whle sectin was nt clear as I read it. Suggestins: 1. Stick rigidly t a plan that gives chices fr each experiment, then results fr each, as nw, OR treat all infrmatin n exp. 1 tgether, then all n exp. 2, then exp. 3. Chse whichever yu think will be clearer t the reader. 2. Fr each exp., give all essential infrmatin. Ask yurself, What des the reader need t knw, and when? Fr example, ne f my questins was, In exp. 1 and 2, were bth prey equally active? 3. Yur final sentence rightly presents the results and their significance, but it is clumsy because t many wrds separate subject frm verb. Example 4 The main pint f this tpic is that the Children an Cllege students aren t learning hw t read and write fr that they will used later in life. I dn t believe sciety has prepared me fr the wrk I want t d that. is in educatin speaking, that my pint in being here, If this isn t a essay. f a thusand wrd s that because I dn t have much t say. fr it has been fur years since I last wrte ne, and by the time I am finish here I hpe t be able t write an number f essay.

The authr has taken sme chance s, emplying sentence structures r expressing thughts that are n the edge f what we have been studying. The entries are varied in subject and frm. 3 - There is sme use f apprpriate verb tenses and crrect Spanish structure and vcabulary, but incrrect usage and/r vcabulary interferes with the reader's cmprehensin. 2 - The reader finds many f the entries difficult t understand, and/r many entries are simplistic and/r repetitius. 1 - The majrity f the entries are virtually incmprehensible. In additin t this scale, part f the grade is based n the number f entries and their length.

The essay generally fllws a lgical line f reasning t supprt its thesis. Evidence, Supprt: The writer s claims and interpretatins are richly supprted with evidence frm the wrks we have read, secndary surces, and sensible reasning.

I made every effrt t cme t class n time (lateness that was nt yur fault is Excused, e.g. the previus prfessr held the class vertime. Oversleeping is NOT excused) 2. I had read all the assigned wrks carefully befre I came 3. I brught t class my written ntes n the wrks we read 4.

My gal was t cntribute effectively t the high quality f the GROUP s discussin and learning, rather than just t demnstrate my wn excellence. As in team sprts, I played fr the well-being f the team 9. My cntributins tended t d the fllwing: Start the grup n a rich, prductive track by psing a questin r psitin that is nt t bvius, but richly debatable, dealing with a significant questin r aspect f the wrk Respnd t thers cntributins by: Asking fr clarificatin r evidence Helping t supprt the pint by cntributing evidence and examples Linking the pint creatively t ther readings r issues Pinting ut unspken assumptins behind the ther persn s pint Raising a prblem r cmplicatin fr the ther persn s pint Synthesizing r pulling tgether the discussin s far Stating a different pint f view and backing it up Talking abut hw this literature has helped develp my wn thughts 10. When I had a genuine questin that seemed stupid r simple, I asked it anyway The fllwing questins d nt cunt fr credit, but they help me t assess hw well the discussins are ging and hw we can imprve: 11. I thught the discussin tday went extremely well very well quite well nt at all well Why did yu answer as yu did? 12. What culd the prfessr have dne t make the discussin mre successful? 13. What culd I, the student, have dne t make the discussin mre successful? (Walvrd and Andersn, 2010, p. 68) Resurce Barbara E. Walvrd and Virginia J. Andersn (2010). Effective Grading, 2 nd ed.
