I graded Mathematica assignments weekly for a course I taught many years ago with the "Calculus & Mathematica" materials. William's two suggestions above would be at the top of my list: 1. A clear way to make comments. Maybe a directive like %hide (say %comment?) at the top of a cell, plus a checkbox like "Typeset" to turn them on/off. Or maybe just some CSS styling to make them obvious to the student who skims the returned work. As three-quarters of the class meetings were in a computer lab, and the submitted work was a large portion of the grade, the comments were an important part of the course, so making them stand out would be important. 2. A one-click process, or a simple form, which would then blast-out all the graded worksheets would be a real timesaver.
