    You wouldn’t believe how difficult they are to mark. The basic skills of penmanship and sentence construction have fallen through the floor. 20% of students in my last class didn’t even attempt the short answer section on an exam that was otherwise multiple choice.

      What subject, and was it time limited? If there was any chance of not finishing in time I’d probably leave those until last.

        Neuroscience and basically no time limit. 50 marks in a 3 hour night class and I tell them I’ll stay as long as they need.
