First marking batch done

Having three big batches of marking on your plate is quite exhausting! But I just ploughed on and now the first batch is done. And that feels good. It has been done OK. There is always a bit of spread in the grades, but I’m satisfied with how it went. 

I am a bit worried about my arms now. The software we use is not very compatible with my voice recognition software. So I can’t really not use my arms. And I can feel that. And I still have two big batches to go! 

I’ve already started on the second batch. That is fortunately quicker. I hope I can get that out of the way soon, and then onto the last batch. And then hopefully tired but satisfied into the Christmas break! 

 

Example age vs depth plot from Miao et al., Mar Geol 2017. Making a similar age-depth plot was part of the assignment I just finished marking.
