Hi, Cataloging educators.
I am in my first semester of teaching Advanced Cataloging online.
I've taught metadata and intro cataloging courses before, and we did some record
creation, but not as much as I have my students doing this semester.
There are 20 people in the class. I am giving them 3 records a week, which doesn't
seem like much, but it's all I can do to get them graded and give feedback in time
to help them with their next batch.
[In addition to record creation, we're doing some readings and discussion posts as well, and everyone is researching a metadata standard of his/her choosing and will write a paper and give a presentation on same. The other component is live guest speakers on topics like serials, music, and media cataloging...]
Once they have submitted their assignments, I am posting correct versions of the records.
When there is an issue that trips up multiple people, instead of noting it on every single record,
I add it to a discussion document that I also post. But I am highlighting every error in every record
and giving notes on errors that are unique to that paper.
Is there a better/easier/faster/ way to grade and give feedback?
How many records per week do y'all assign?
Any words of wisdom that can be tossed my way would be very much appreciated.
