so let me know if you have any ideas …

i will take one more question
i will take one more question at freedom to dither before i turn off the “ask” tool on this tumblr.
i am sick of these questions and answers clogging up this tumblr, which was created to be all about fun videos, pictures and occasionally rants - not anonymous questions and my answers.

Anonymous asked: Im curious about marking university exams. Surely with the sheer volume of responses you have to mark, all on the same subject matter, they must all blend in to each other at some point and be difficult to accurately mark.

Anonymous asked: After you've gotten to know some of your students - do you ever feel a little disappointed when you read some of their exam answers that are way off base.
Anonymous asked: Do you get frustrated when students don't reference?
Anonymous asked: You said that you don't know if you have written a good question until you start marking - is this because bad questions get bad answers?
Anonymous asked: I've noticed your Tumblr consists largely of questions from students and readers (although you also post other things sometimes). Just wondering - why don't you use Formspring to answer your questions?

Anonymous asked: Do you find it difficult writing exam / assignment questions? Writing a question that has just the right balance, enough time to answer, not too many issues to cover, etc. I imagine it would be quite challenging!
Anonymous asked: If it were decided that a specific marker had marked overly harsh on an assignment - how do you think the Uni would/should proceed - would they recall all assignments for a remark, or just the ones where a student has complained?
