That's a lot quicker than what we usually call "grading" (i.e. reading, commenting, *and* assigning a grade). <br /><br />It sounds like you also got a good deal of information about the individual students, and the types of students in your population, some of which you can put to use immediately, and some of which may have to wait for next semester (or subsequent semesters, and the additional information you gain as you go along, and try to fit to various hypotheses). <br /><br />I actually like individual conferences (strong introvert here), but my sense is that they're exhausting for pretty much everybody. And yes, they're inefficient in many ways -- except that there are definitely students who will take something to heart when you say it to them individually, but will let it go in one ear and out the other when you say it to the group. Human beings are not be nature efficient, I suspect.

You're right. It's hard to be tough when you're one-on-one. But I still manage, mostly, to follow the rules on my syllabus. It's such a pain though.
