Marking exam papers. Finding the process difficult enough (boring!) until I reach a new all-time low with a paper from someone who thought it was worth his while writing 2 pages of illegible scrappy diagrams and not at all amusing comments. I generously (IMO) give "method marks" so have to wade through all sorts of crap and it certainly was not worth my while deciphering this mess only to find it was worth no marks whatsoever... (But posting this has improved my frame of mind so I can return to the other scripts afresh!)
Update 10th June: Hurrah! Finished!!! All that remains is to get the marks double-checked and submit them to the Faculty <phew> Some excellent results and some stunningly poor ones: Some students seem to thrive on learn-it/regurgitate-it exams and others on continuous assessment ... others won't take the hint in year 1 or year 2 and leave it until year 3 to fail very badly. Ah well, at least they're not all obviously copying each-other!
