[quote=Anonymous]I know this is frustrating, and you are right that the sooner you get the work back the better. But it is VERY time-consuming to grade drafts and provide meaningful feedback for revision. Now, after about 15 years of teaching, I can do it fairly quickly, but blocking out time to read the drafts multiple times and communicate revision strategies effectively is not simple. Writing assignments pile up and become daunting very quickly. I think one week is fairly typical and two weeks is not unreasonable though not ideal. I've even gone a month before when I was truly overwhelmed in the early days. The student should talk to the teacher directly. Don't go over her/his head. And don't demand graded work back. But explain why you feel it would be useful to have the work back sooner. If the teacher is not receptive, speak to a counselor or department chair who would be in a better position to help.[/quote]
