WERE UNDER HEAVY ATTACK, HULL BREACH ON DECKS 1-6!!!!

Have you ever had one of those feelings???? i've got Klingons all over me, i cant shake em.
i guess this would be a good time to discuss time management. Instead of disruptors and photon torpedoes i've got an exam and microteaching and journal assignments battering my temporal shields down,and i dont need scotty to tell me "I Kin na do it capn, i DONT have the POWER!!!
I think that its a pittrap that i (probally others but i will speak for myself now) fall into too easily. I have often reminded myself that for ever assignment and test that i inflict on my students i am assigning 20+ correcting assignments on myself, and nothing is more demorilizing to me than looking at that pile of correcting on my desk when there is new stargate to watch. So here is a question with a valuable answer.... how do we do authentic assessment of learning without creating a pile of extra time comsuming work? technology has allowed the multiple choice test with nice answer keys so we can streamline it like the enterprise jumping to warp. there are online quizzes that they can do and get results right back but i cringe at the cheating possibilities for them.
so i guess thie time for more metacognition on what i can do to reduce workload without compromising quality of assessment.
Mr. Crusher, set a course for starbase 183 for repairs, warp 3 engage.
