i thought marking 2 stacks of papers (3questions each) with each stack being about 40 scripts will be done in like 5 hours max...
my gawd...
was so wrong...
ended up spending 8-9 hrs, getting high blood pressure, was fuming away as i slash scripts and write comments...
SIMPLY BECAUSE THESE IDIOTS REFUSE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE COVER PAGE
like seriously, there's a reason why we have instructions...
how do they not follow instructions
1) writing everything in pnecil (like seriously, din your pri sch teacher teach you the basic that writings in pencil= draft, not your answer and you do not get any marks?????)
2) writing all the questions in the same piece of paper. i know that we keep saying save the earth and dun waste paper. but this is NOT the time to do so. coz the reason why we say begin each question on a fresh piece of paper is so that it's easier for us to spot what questions you have done and because we split the diff questions among teachers for marking, we might actually split the papers so that one teacher can get the pile of the questions he is tasked to do...
3) doing ALL of the questions when you are only supposed to do 3. this one irks me a lot...you think that by doing all questions, we will mark all the questions and pick the best 3? FAT HOPE!!!! I have no time to do so? you think that we have a lot of time? like seriously! and since you have so much time, then check your answer!! seriously...sheesh!
By far, no one has successfully passed...those who have passed, it shows that they studied...the rest...very disappointing. can see that they did not study at all. bloody fuming mad at the quality of the answers. it leaves me wondering, is it the fault of the student or the teacher. luckily these students are not the ones i teach, if they are, i will be doubly mad. on monday, i will receive the scripts of the classes i teach. i have a feeling it will be the same in terms of the quality of answers.....it's just the batch...despite having a high aggregate, they are indeed very weak and not imaginative and creative. they are really the type that needs to be spoonfed EVERY single thing in order for them to get high marks. indeed, i worry for their future....
