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.

From the looks of it, your 250 was a lot more educational than the equivalent I took with you-know-who. I enjoyed our version of it, and everything it seems your students have touched on in their essays was mentioned in our text, which I loved, yet we didn't discuss it that much in class. Ours felt more like a writing class, and less of an English class. Was still fun, but the essays your students have produced look more like what I thought it would be. Hmm. :)

heh. That's interesting :) Not that I feel myself in competition with "you know who" - just... interesting :) My students tell me that they learned a lot and really enjoyed it, so I'm happy.
