Marking Update

I'm about to do the last 280 essay, and I have four more 250 portfolios to mark. Not including a couple that haven't posted them, but I've done their evaluation for all the other work. Tomorrow I just have to add all the marks up. I'm stupid that I didn't load results into an excel file as I go along - I'm always so desperate to get work back to students that I just note the marks and don't do the computer update. My WebCt course is the worst, because it's all in a nasty spreadsheet in WebCt that doesn't convert to Excel easily, so I have to copy them all manually. Ugh. Still, tomorrow I should be done. Hopefully before I meet Dee for lunch, then I can celebrate.

It's been a very productive day, and I'm feeling very good about the 250 course, which is mostly what I've been marking today. It seems to have been a howling success. Yay me.

I'm not procrastinating... honest! Well, only a very little.

This result is interesting - I think I like my result more than a_d_medievalist's, but it's a bit surprising.

I am: James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice B. Sheldon) In the 1970s she was perhaps the most memorable, and one of the most popular, short story writers. Her real life was as fantastic as her fiction.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Further Marking Update

I'm finished. At least, bar the calculations. I feel numb. But it was a very good day's work. Now I'm going to go and watch an episode of Angel, unless the wind blows the power out. I've had some flickers. And I need to wash Robinson's bum. He's suffering from beardie-bum - obviously had a runny tummy after supper. Sigh. Nothing like a very long haired dog with diarrhea.
