@Zoe7 Marking doesn't exactly bore me...but it definitely isn't as fun as playing with data. I really want to share the face-palm moment but I know it would be inappropriate, just in case any of the students are floating around in Forum Land. It is a much less challenging assignement to mark than the previous one was. However, last time the lecturer gave me a sample paper for each grade (e.g. pass, fail, credit etc) whereas this time I don't have any examples because it is the first time this assignment has been given. I figure once I've marked a few, I'll get a feel for it and I'll probably go back and check the first ones again to make sure I'm being consistent. It really does take me a super long time - much more than I get paid for, but I super like having something constructive to do with my day.
