...I have to teach no fewer than three hours of class my very first semester, so I'm a little "AAAAUUUGGGHHHH!" at the moment.
Totally understandable! I'm sure you'll do well though! One idea/tip: grading rubrics are often very helpful to student and teacher.
I can't say much about comp courses, but it might amuse you to know that in our technical writing manual book, there is a section on how not to be rude. There are examples on what not to do -- one sounds like Rodney McKay wrote it -- and how to craft appropriate messages.
