EP254 An instant way to have fewer assignments to grade

No, the answer is not throwing the whole stack in a recycling bin. (Although it’s perfectly fine to toss out some assignments from time-to-time.) And, the answer isn’t to give more assignments digitally.

• What can I do to experiment or push back on expectations this year, in order to make my grading workload more sustainable?
