How long does it take for the instructor to respond to student assignments?
I do not update grades immediately after you send an assignment. I usually wait until all of the students have sent their work, and then I begin the grading process. So, the grades will not be posted until about 10 days after an assignment is due. I take your writing seriously and I spend about 20 minutes or more commenting on each student’s draft. This process takes time, so I ask that you be patient. Just because this is an online course does not mean that the grading is automated. I must respond to each student’s writing and I must enter each grade manually. Writing individual comments to students takes up much of my time. Your patience is appreciated.
