A quick thought about grading.


I am currently most of the way through grading my first set of exams, so this will have to be brief. There are tests that are easy to grade - those from the people who have studied and know what they are talking about, as well as those who haven't bothered to study, as my red pen makes a few quick slash marks and we're good to go. The problem are the people who write incoherent answers - there are parts of their answer that make sense, but overall it's a mess. There are nuggets of truth contained in the answer, kind of like peanuts in stool.
Alles Gute.
