If you’re at the point where you need to employ tricks to finish the grading at all, then I think this is unfortunately a secondary concern. Once you can consistently finish the grading, then I think you can start worrying about its quality.
See, I always worry that the easiest way to get through grading is to just give everyone A’s regardless of what they turned in. So I feel like you somehow have to factor in a reward for quality or that’s what your system will collapse into?
I would never be tempted to do that, but that comes from a strong desire to tell people when they’re wrong which is not necessarily a good thing overall.
