When I went away for Christmas, all marking that needed to have been done by then was done. There was a pile waiting that had been submitted the 19th of December, but that was not too bad. I shared that with Jaco. This assignment was having the students be critical about an AI-generated text about topical subjects. Time-consuming, but actually quite fun!
When that was done, the next batch came in. Exam marking! I was involved in two of them, a week apart. The first one was a module on shelf seas. Sometimes my exam questions in that module are not very popular at all. This year was different! We had about 100 students, and they all had to answer 2 out of 8 questions. So if every question would be equally popular, they would all have 25 students choosing them. One of my questions (I had two) drew 23. A fine number! The other one drew 57. Crap.

I finished the popular question before the students started on the second exam. And then I managed to mark the less popular one while the students were working on the other exam. So I could move straight on! Were it not that academic integrity cases, teaching admin for the second semester, and an invited talk about EDI got quite in the way…
