Visually speaking, it'd make a lot of sense from the student's point of view.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-2672300449463065432014-09-23T12:03:01.272+09:002014-09-23T12:03:01.272+09:00I had a very similar experience when I was teachin...I had a very similar experience when I was teaching at HUFS, even though my grad students were at a much higher level than your students. In the first semester I did basically what you did and got burned out. I then gradually introduced a system of colored highlights, with yellow for minor grammatical/spelling issues, orange for relatively minor translation mistakes, and red for "translation-breaking" mistakes. In later years I also introduced the green highlight to give positive feedback on sentences or sections that were done particularly well.<br /><br />If the students couldn't figure out what a highlight was for, they could come to me for clarification. It worked out quite well.<br /><br />Good luck with your marking system!Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
