The past couple of days I've been "fellowing" for 13 students in a Family Adaptation and Resiliency class. The basic process is that I read their papers, make comments, and then write them each a one page response letter. It doesn't sound bad, but that's a lot of reading, thinking, analyzing, and writing (and here I am doing some more, haha). Sometimes I get some sort of inspiration--what types of improvements would help their paper--but more often I just sit there staring at the paper trying to figure out what they're saying and how to approach everything. It's hard.
I guess if I'm a teacher, I'll design the assignments and know exactly what I'm looking for, but still. All those papers in a time crunch (I have to finish them tomorrow, since the students need the feedback by their 8:00 class on Monday). My classes, homework and studying are currently on the backburner.
