GradingEfficiently

It was an exciting time for me during June 2009. I was on my way to Honolulu, Hawaii as a University of Phoenix faculty member and College of Arts and Sciences chair, Detroit campus, to present a paper at the World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications, similarly titled to this booklet. As a busy faculty member I searched for methods to grade student papers faster, but with as much rigor as any written feedback and any department chair would expect. The answer was always right in front of me. The answer was Microsoft Word AutoCorrect.
