Marking

We've almost finished marking the first set of projects from T156, and it's been a pleasure.  I normally dread marking because it's so repetitive - students on bigger courses which teach things and then examine whether they've stuck produce remarkably little variation.  Especially after a few years when the tutors have decoded the marking criteria and start teaching the exam (and even the project).

T156 is a complete contrast, and the main challenge has been how to score apples and pears on the same scale.  At least they're all fruit, and it's been reasonably easy to find a common agreement between the three markers.  I will share some of the final bits of work once we've got them safely dispatched off, and here's one for the road, purely because I marked it today:
