I try to write helpful comments on students' exams, but I do less of this when I am teaching more than 100 students per term. I do usually post exam solutions on a website, and I encourage students to check those answers before coming to me with questions about why they did not receive more credit on a question. I do not spend much class time going over an exam, although I will spend some time addressing issues of common misunderstanding. Sometimes I tell students the fine-number summary of exam scores, but sometimes I just tell them the mean and median. I encourage students who do poorly on an exam to come and discuss it with me, but few do.
