=Using the SACRED FOG Rubric when grading=

You can use a shorthand after each element of the rubric (depending, of course, on which elements the students are being graded) which allows you to move fairly quickly through the evaluation of the paper.

ex = excellent vg = very good ~ can still be improved g = good ~ acceptable ok= minimally acceptable pr = a problem to work on -- unacceptable an = as noted in comments or annotations na = not applicable to this essay, or not a problem in your writing

It is also possible to use an Excel spreadsheet to compute the grade based on the shorthand -- a tool that helped me realize I was inaccurately coming up with a final grade (too high). If you are interested in the Excel spreadsheet, send me an email at peterh.raymond@gmail.com
