Just posting this to remind myself that I must finish grading a set of freshman essays tomorrow. #gradingjail
Nearing the end of #GradingJail for both the semester & academic year. As an upper-level writing-intensive course, My #ENVSCOMM25 class had the most grades, with ~30 evaluated assignments per student. Fortunately they were a great class, which is making my grading a bit easier. Thanks, students! 🎓✍️
Still in #GradingJail, but there's light at the end of the burrow. Finished & submitted grades for my first-year-student seminar (aka the "tracking class) yesterday, with a goal of finishing grades for 'Environmental Geology' today. Then just one class to go, for 'Great Books of the Geosciences.'
Like most academics this week, I'm in the midst of #GradingJail. This semester's tougher than usual, evaluating students from 3 different classes, & broke my right wrist on Thanksgiving (biking accident). But surgery 1 week ago & physical therapy since have helped me to partly regain typing skills.
Grading left to do:
✅ General Ecology exams
✅ Plant Ecology exams
⏩ third paper discussion from Plant Ecology (in progress)
⬜ Plant Ecology graduate projects
⬜ Plant Ecology graduate paper discussions
⬜ Plant Ecology labs
⬜ General Ecology paper revisions

Currently in #GradingJail, but a research student came to visit me and gave me such a kind and thoughtful card. Plus this pin, proving that this student *knows* me. I will miss the students so very much. But I am eternally thankful to the students, who made my unlikely career possible.
SIX more papers to grade. I can do it. #GradingJail
Two more labs & I'm out of #GradingJail for the day!
Need to go back to #GradingJail. But first… open.spotify.com/track/4Y2W4zKa3q72ztbkA0...
And they're graded!! Woohoo!! Out of #GradingJail before my first class!
#GradingJail. And no-haircut-in-a-year COVID hair. 🤪
If I took a drink every time I read a student response about the "Pacific Ring of Fire" I would passed out on the floor by now. Is it even it my slides? The book? When I teach in person, I don't think I even mention it. #GradingJail #FinalsWeek
Last lab! Then I'm free from #GradingJail! https://open.spotify.com/track/4Y2W4zKa3q72ztbkA0r8Va
When these are done, I'm done working for the day! #GradingJail

I'll be checking into #GradingJail tomorrow since I have bibliographies coming in for one class, labs in another, & still have discussions from this morning. Woohoo!
Well, now I know! I was worried that some students didn't like asynchronous class so wanted to give them a chance to ask questions over Zoom. No takers. At least I know for that class it's not something to worry about. Back to #GradingJail!
Hey @NoisyAstronomer, you out of #gradingjail yet? I'm not. Still in there.
#GradingJail with a headache! Fun times.
I love reading papers titled "First Draft". Then you can be surprised to find out what the paper is actually about! 😂🤔 #GradingJail #workend
No one:
Students writing about climate change:
"it's a hot button issue"
"it's a hotly debated topic"

Graded one question on my remote sensing final exam (they had to pick 2 of 4 & 13 picked this one) & the responses run the range from excellent to 'I couldn't be bothered.' But that makes me over 1/3 done grading them so yay! #GradingJail #FinalsWeek
Now some #GradingJail music #BoardsOfCanada - The Campfire Headphase (Full Album) https://youtu.be/iokfQ5Bym2Y via @YouTube
Pro tip: If you are supposed to pick an article to review an application of #RemoteSensing, you need an article that contains remote sensing. 🤔 #GradingJail

When your husband gets on the phone while you're trying grade in the home office, you put on your headphones & listen to #BoardsOfCanada. #workend #GradingJail
A lot of students appear to have forgotten what APA citations are. Sigh. #GradingJail #WeveBeenUsingAllSemester
My grading would go faster if I didn't check Twitter after each paper. #GradingJail #workend
