Joan in GE Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm wondering if there are college students (or their parents :001_smile:) willing to grade essays in their field of study... This started because my son is writing a paper about economics after viewing the Teaching Co course and I am just incapable of grading his work. So I thought maybe there would be a college student with a major in economics (ideally who has watched the course) who would want a minor job. That got me thinking how handy it would be to have a list of people who could grade essays in various topics... For me it would not be for the grammar/ sentence structure, more for comments and general assessment.... Payment could be through Paypal for example... Price could be discussed. You can see this thread on the high school board where I first posted about it... Hoping someone is interested, and thanks for any discussion of the topic, Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLG Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Well, I did this course with my ds last year using TC DVD and a textbook ail and would be willing to take a trial run at this with you! Are the essay questions from a particular source? PM me and we can explore it further. My ds did five essays every week of high school so...lots of grading experience. Plus he did Write@Home in 8th grade where we both learned what to look for in an essay! The logistics would likely necessitate essays in WORD I would think....No fancy programs available to me like Write@Home!

Hi Mary, I'll PM you about the details - thanks for offering! Logistics wise -just talking about this for others interested in the process... WORD does seem necessary... then there are number of pages, etc to consider which I would think would effect price - Rubric - it would be good to have some general grading rubric in place. Any ideas? Thanks! Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
