I will admit to this. Initially, my patience and tolerance for errors is significantly higher than towards the end of the grading. By the second hour grading, I am not only mentally exhausted my tolerance is significantly lower.
I try to prevent this by creating very explicit grading rubric and I stick to it as much as possible.
- ghaff 2y agoClear rubrics are the thing where possible. They aren't everywhere though. I've been on conference committees and so many different factors come into play--including how late in the day it is. But, in that case, a bunch of people are rating and commenting and there's no strict order so it probably evens out to a reasonable degree.
