Then people couldn't self-promote. But tailoring the listing by reader would be much more useful. I thought one of my professional lists did that, but I usually just skim the headlines. Information overload. In grading tests, I grade one question at a time through the entire class. That helps me be more consistent with the grading. Then I shuffle/rearrange the papers for the next question. I've had some of my best students turn in exams last because they were being careful and trying to get every last point. By grading one question at a time, I can put down the papers at the end of a question and pick them up the next day and still be fair. Tricks from a distraction-filled life.
