WEEK 24 - Grading

On Friday I gave a 25-point quiz (more like a small test) that was:
5 T/F
10 short answer
5 translation
5 vocabulary

Just looking at those numbers, it looks like it's not a very involved quiz. In fact, besides the short answer questions, the rest were pretty black and white. During the last period of the day, I had my TA Maya grade the black and white parts, leaving me with the short answer and translation portions. Doesn't seem like much to grade, right?

I have 105 students in level 1, and 96 of them took the quiz. On Saturday, it took me over 3.5 hours to grade those 96 quizzes. It took me another hour to input those grades and the grades for 2 assignments they handed in that day as well (and I don't even correct homework assignments because they're considered practice for the test). So on Saturday I spent over a half a normal work day just grading and inputting grades.

After that, I still had to prep for classes for this upcoming week, which I didn't do until Sunday evening. Still, with the 4.5 hours of grading, this past week I broke 60 hours of work, the 5th time this school year.

So far this school year I have logged 361 hours of overtime, which converts to extra 9 full weeks of work. So in less than 6 months, I have already worked enough to cover both June and July with full time work.
