A colleague of mine from Honduras would always smile at me in a pained sort of way and sigh: "No me puedo ir a casa; estoy calificando estas tareas."
calificar - to grade. Estoy calificando - I am grading.

In Spain: Estoy corrigiendo los exámenes.
Also: Estoy poniendo notas.

The dictionary says
calificar los trabajos-> to grade essays
So based on this, I would say "I'm grading essays" would be "Estoy calificando los trabajos."
