I just ate a bowl of oatmeal and am now trying to motivate myself to get showered and grade. My tendonitis has returned with a vengeance. I've been wearing my brace on and off for a week, but it doesn't seem to be working. Which is bad since I have to grade with that same hand.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Kristin, could you make audio comments instead of written ones? I'm guessing you just might have the technology at hand to do so.

Harder to circle mistakes aurally though. "Third paragraph, second word -- question mark. Fourth paragraph, second sentence -- big x drawn through it, with an arrow up to where you contradicted yourself two paragraphs up."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You could have a voice synthesizer read the paper out loud. Then on top of that you record yourself yelling "Wrong!" at random intervals the appropriate times.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This is the slowest thread ending I've ever seen.

Heh. If ND were home, maybe. It will be another week before my audio guy returns, however, and I am not wading into his office to attempt to play with his sound equiptment alone.
Honestly, I think I would suck at audio comments anyway. I would need to find a way to give them student by student. Plus, confusing (or what Emily said).
I think I'll use my patented hold-the-pen-loosely technique.
