I think I just finished #grading. A month ago this felt like an impossible task. Since then aeons have passed, civilisations have risen and fallen, and time itself ceased to have any meaning. Yet here we are. 🤷‍♂️ #academia

I don’t collect Pokémon cards and never will because it’s just consumerism and not my thing. 😅

I’m guilty of posting images to Mastodon instead of Pixelfed, but honestly, I should use Pixelfed for images since that’s what it’s made for, sharing photos and visual content. 📸

Anyway, I only wanted my favorite Pokémon, Lugia, graded, no matter the grade, image, or company.

My older brother, who is really into collecting now, bought me these two cards. 🎁❤

The CGC card can be seen at the link below. The other card is from PCG, which is a lesser-known UK grading company that no longer exists today. 🃏🇬🇧✨

So now, that’s one more thing crossed off my life’s wish list! ✅✨

It’s frustrating that UCD’s late submission policy more or less incentivises students to submit work late. Particularly when the work is good and you have to deduct marks because it’s late. 😟 #marking #grading #academia #UCD

I’ve been grading some more #PhilosophyMemes. Some of these students have really knocked it out of the park! 😂 Funny and clever, showing subtlety and sophistication. Makes me realise how much we’re missing when we set them traditional essay-writing assignments. 😬 #grading #academia

My favorite portion of grading these exams. This was about a regression analysis.

Marking Time

So here we are, then, with only a few days before examinations start (next Friday, 16th May). The examinations for my two modules take place on Monday 19th and Tuesday 27th May, and after that I’ll be busy with marking for a while.

 

Marking doesn’t just mean written examinations. I have been teaching a module on Computational Physics to 3rd Year students here in Maynooth, and 40% of the assessment for that is a mini-project (usually done in groups of two or three). Early on the term, I put up a list of  16  projects and asked them to pick first second and third choices so I could form groups in such a way that most students get to work on a project they have actively chosen.

Anyway, the deadline for projects to be handed in passed last week so I’ve got a stack of those to mark which, you will realise, why I am indulging in a displacement activity by writing this blog post. My plan is to mark these during this week so that they’re done before the written examinations come in, which means by next Monday (19th). This year we have had a bigger class than usual, so this I have quite a lot of marking to do.

Last week also saw the deadline for the last assignment in Particle Physics to be handed in. I want to mark those as soon as possible, but I’m not sure I’ll have time this week, but I should be able to do them before the exam on the 27th.

Incidentally, one of the submissions of the last assignment came with a note that this was the last assignment the student had done in Maynooth and that the first one he had done, when he was in his first year, was also set by me.

A teacher named Dorothy de Zouche, in the winter of 1944-5, wrote an article urging the obsolescence and harm of grading that, to my mind, grows ever more unanswerable as AI puts grading into doubt: "The Wound Is Mortal": Marks, Honors, Unsound Activities #Grading #AI
