Different grades...


Today I have mostly been:
Doing an awful lot of marking.

Our MSc Health Psychology students each submit a paper prepared for publication in a specified journal, based on the empirical study they did for their dissertation.  Some interesting topics and high quality work - but marking them takes ages.  Grading each one is effectively the same as completing a peer review for a journal.  Each is marked by the original supervisor and independently marked by another memeber of the course team. 

The process hasn't been helped by having to be blind second marker on a resit undergraduate project which was three times the specified length!  Needless to say this did not endear it to me.
