Testing times

A bit like David, I've been snowed under with marking. I don't suppose it comes as much of a consolation to students sitting exams (like Stephen), but some poor member of staff (I nearly typed something else) has to mark their efforts. And the ability of students to avoid securing easy marks by doing the obvious thing (that you've probably told them to do and demonstrated for them) constantly amazes me. However, I've just got a few more second year assignments to mark, and then it's back to the 1001 other things I'm supposed to spend my time doing.
