Oh joy! The Web Technologies marking is due on Wenesday (so says Faculty Admin.) so I have 200 assignments to mark, each made up of 11 web pages mostly with CSS. I've just spent 2 solid 14-hour days and am ¾ of the way through -- it's the plagiarism that takes time! Cross-referencing unique solutions between cheating scumbag students is so disheartening. Last year ~40% of the class copied at least one assignment so I tried to persuade this year's class not to, evidently with not much success.
Last year the irony-highlight was 2 students copying a file and not changing the birthday contained within (durrrrr...) This year I've had 2 "skeleton" solutions submitted complete with "insert your name here" comments. Worrying -- these are 2nd and 3rd years not the inexperienced first years mentioned elsewhere so the majority of copiers may have hidden their tracks better :-(
