Grading One Class Per Day

I have a tip for all of us who are overloaded with grading. In order keep the paper work at a manageable level, I grade one class per day. In other words, I take up papers from first period on Monday, second period on Tuesday, etc. This has kept me up to date, and my students get almost immediate feedback.
