Or if give True-False questions if you want to free up your evenings and weekends every more. (USM as an institution seems to be taking the quick and easy route on so many things these days).

Or even easier, give all "A's." What with the grade distributions I've seen, such an action would hardly be noticed.

It was a long haul. I suggest working in spaces where you will not be distracted. Coffee shops work for me, and there is plenty of caffeine there to help you. I also read papers while my spouse drove to the relatives on Thursday morning and back on Saturday. . . .

Sending your spouse to relatives for the holidays. What a wonderful way to get your papers graded as well as get some peace and quiet! I could never get away with that.

I believe that FS accompanied said spouse to see the relatives, but did not do the driving. Is that right, Foot Soldier?

Yes, I accompanied my spouse. My spouse is a quiet sort (except when raving madly about Shelby Thames and co.) so I could have read papers either at home or on the road.
