One way to speed up the grading of essays is to organize the feedback according to each section of the essay.
This can be done by breaking up the essay into sections. Part I might be the introductory paragraph, Part II would be the body paragraphs, Part III might be the concluding paragraph. In each section of the essay, Keyset can be used to include positive and constructive feedback for every element included in that given section.
For example, on Google Drive you can insert comments at the end of each section by inserting a table to organize your feedback. NOTE: Keyset retains formatting in Google Drive.
This same feedback can also be given on other LMS platforms.
Since you can print out a cheat sheet for your comments, giving effective and meaningful feedback is fast and as easy as pushing a button.
