Tipsters, would any of the following affect your responses:
These are doctoral students in a second semester quant course.
There is a paper required every week.
Each paper is an APA-Style results section presenting a multivariate
analysis of simulated data.
The students have already been given examples of how to present such
results and a list of common errors made by previous students.
It takes me about half an hour to evaluate a paper and make
constructive feedback. With 20 students, that is ten hours a week.
The same errors tend to be repeated week after week by certain
students, despite prior feedback. Others turn in publication quality work
almost every time.
I made the mistake of offering a revise and resubmit. Guess what,
now I get requests to check the revision before it is turned in for a grade.
Cheers,

I usually tell my students who make such requests that it would not be fair for
me to do it just for her without extending the same offer to everyone else. In
turn, it would not be fair to me to have to read all student papers twice.

How best to handle the student request that you check her paper for errors
BEFORE you grade it so she can be sure to get a perfect paper when she hands it
in later?
