Assignments - I never do well on the ones that I expect to, and I somehow ace the ones that I wonder are going to be good enough.
I can never tell which ones will be which.
I got two results back this week. One was for an assignment that I did a lot of work for on the main project itself, but did the write-up very quickly and wondered afterwards if it should have been more "academic".
The other was for a group assignment that I did, where we all put in a fair bit of work together. As group assignments go, you all put in work into the one thing and hope your side of the work doesn't let everybody else down.
I aced the first one and got a mediocre mark for the second. Funnily enough, I would prefer it to be the other way around, because I'm dissapointed for the group. I know how we all worked on this one.
I guess passing is the main thing.
I think it's the difference between markers who care and those who don't. Sucks but it shouldn't be taken personally. Why can't all tutors and lecturers be passionate?
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. It can be so disappointing for the students involved.
