Here are some tips our TAs came up with at our last workshop:
– Provide feedback for improvement
– Be consistent
– Talk to other TAs and faculty
– Use/demand rubric (flexible but specific)
– Use the 24 hour rule
– Schedule time for marking
– Give yourself rewards for finishing
– Be accessible to students
– Don’t make feedback contain personal comments
– Make expectations clear for students
