I'm using org-mode to keep track of student grades.  How can I easily add a
bunch of identical headings at a certain level in my tree?   Specifically,I
have a L2 heading for each student, and I want to put a node (heading, with
some properties) under each L2 student heading for that class.

* Class One
** Sarah Adams
*** Essay One
Here is my comment to the student on their essay.  The grade/mark itself
will be stored as a property or priority.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<HERE I'd like to add a node for "Essay Two"
** John Smith
*** Essay One
Comment on John's essay.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I to add the same node skeleton here, automatically
** Sally Lovelace
*** Essay One
Comment on Sally's essay.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<< And here.
* Class Two
** Ralph Friendly
** Sam Hudson

Thanks,
Scot

Personally, I'd just write a small Elisp function to do that.  (It's
easier than you might think - even I could do that;).)  Here's a thing
that is (remotely) similar:

Or, you could record a keyboard macro, and even save it as Elisp.

Hth,

Other solutions include:

- using YASnippets, or

- writing a skeleton in the Org document and cloning it N times at once (see
  C-c C-x c).

Thanks,  Seb and Marcin.  I didn't know about cloning.  That will do for
those parts of the tree that I know about before I start filling in the
data.  For afterwards, which is more the case I'm thinking about, I'll aim
to write an Elisp function using org-insert-subheading.  That sample macro
gives me something to go on. I'll experiment with keyboard macros, too,
which might be fine for this application.

Thx.

I worked out some emacs-lisp code that does some of what you want. It was a
little tricky though to avoid some strange recursion loops. See this post:

It is not a org solution but I'd recommend using multiple cursor by
Magnar Sveen of Emacs rocks.

In the case of above, do the following after properly installed mc:

 1. mark `Essay One'
 2. call `mc/mark-all-like-this'
 3. C-<Enter>
 4. Type 'Essay Two'

Viola! Now you have new `Essay Two' entries even if you already have
one. ;-p

My two cents,
