The Grading Marathon is Over How Microfeedback Saves Your Weekend and Boosts Student Learning

Are you drowning in papers, feeling like your grading effort doesn't translate into actual student learning? It's time to stop the exhausting traditional grading marathon! This episode introduces microfeedback, a powerful, highly focused strategy that dramatically cuts down your time while maximizing student retention and immediate growth. The key is trading feedback volume for velocity: the brain processes small, targeted chunks better than overwhelming critiques. Learn three actionable strategies: 1) Commit to immediacy—one piece of actionable feedback on a single target skill within 24 hours (e.g., just the thesis statement); 2) Embrace the single-point rubric to hyper-focus students on one skill at a time, driving high-leverage growth; and 3) Leverage digital voice notes on platforms like Google Docs to deliver personalized, nuanced, and encouraging feedback in minutes, not hours. Transform your grading from a tedious task into a powerful learning tool. Save your weekends and refine your instructional aim!
