So I'm grading the last assignment of the term and still flagging kids for cheating.
Sigh.
I so do not have time for this.

I have put in all the grades!
*stares blearily into the rain*
*stares blearily at the to-do list*
Yay?

Turnitin is useless. I don't know why I bother. "Do you see these quotes from Paradise Lost? All plagiarism, I tell you!" #AcademicSky #AmGrading

#amGrading, very important step: replace initial reactions (“blah blah blah!”) with professional wording (“vague”) #academicChatter
-
Train to work was delayed. Meh.
Could finish grading one exam question because of the extra time. Yay.
Meeting was canceled. Meh.
More time for grading. Yay?

There's a really common mistake in this exam that I didn't anticipate. It's "integration by parts of wishful thinking":
The students integrate by parts, then "solve" the second integral (which can, in fact, be done by a second integration by parts) by wishful thinking.

Best part of teaching a class on #emojis: Reading student term papers about emojis! 🤩 #linguistics #amGrading #academicChatter

The single most important thing I want students to learn about academic writing is that your paper is not a mystery novel! Please state your results right there in the introduction! 🕵️♀️ #amGrading #academicWriting #academicChatter #ice515

Ugh my least favorite part of grading: "When do I start calling it plagiarism?" 🤔 🙄 #amGrading #academicChatter
-
I know my students love "integration by wishful thinking", but TIL they can also do "determinant calculation by wishful thinking".
You can do it for non-quadratic matrices as well!
-
Student tries (and fails) to solve an integral by substituting u=x.
Yeah, rebranding won't work here.
-
Exam arithmetics...
0/0 = 0
1/3 > 1
1/3 < 0
1/0 = 1
i = -1... yeah, that's what stress does to the poor students' brains.

I've done a bit of grading and went for a run to clear my head of the mathematical nonsense the first-years produced.
My brain: hey, you should find out whether there's a zine about queer topics from a Christian point of view you can give the Evangelicals.
Me: 🙂
My brain: or, hey, you could make one yourself! Here are things you could put in. And here's a layout idea!
Me: 😳

Writing my representatives is not procrastinating grading, it's activism!
(It's totally procrastinating grading.)
-
Argh, they have changed the data format and now my "calculate grades and other stuff like grade distributions" script doesn't work anymore!
*adjusts code*
-
That’s the final batch of papers sorted and turned. There were two really great ones in this batch, and it’s going to be a solid swath of good news when the revisions come in!

#AmGrading #ecotheology essays, pondering these takes on #Christianity, and absolutely losing track of the boundaries between process thought and "traditional" (?) #theology #ProfLife

From a student paper: “God is being. God is the nothing from which everything stems.”
Sometimes I know that I’m really lucky to get to have these conversations regularly. It’s not usually while grading papers.
-
I finished the grading! And with half an hour until it's kid-fetching time to spare!
Now I won't have to grade anything until... next year. 😳
-
Yay: student using a trigonometric identity for the double angle
Meh: student using it to evaluate the sine of the TRIPLE angle
-
If all you know is separation of variables, every differential equation looks separable, according to my students 😑
-
Only about 1/3 of my students went with the obvious substitution choice (which works, it wasn't a trap!).
About 10% attempted one that they could've made work with some trigonometric identity wrangling, but went for wishful thinking instead 😔
-
Dear person who (incorrectly) evaluated a limit as infinity/12 and concluded that this was equal to one... Shall I introduce you to renormalization? I think you'll like it.
-
As we were talking about how using correct Latin plurals feels pretentious at times the other day, I just wrote "limites not evaluated" on an exam and did feel pretentious...
(Changed it to just "limits", but it doesn't come naturally!)
-
Meh, grading sucks even more of sitting at a desk for longer periods is painful.
*does some Yoga moves for ver hip*
(Yes, I know I'm very fortunate to only have figured that out now!)

#AmGrading Three-quarters of the way done with grading this logjam of an assignment. Am so tired but also SO CLOSE in a way that is actually not that close at all. blargh.
-
Grading is finished! So is putting grades into the online system! Yay!
I'm pleased by the average as well as the grade distribution. Everyone who failed failed cleanly without being an edge case; no one failed their final try.
I which I could do more for the students who fail with < 10 % of the maximum points though.
-
The number of students wanting to calculate a complex number's power by multiplying it, well, multiple times instead of using de Moivre's formula (which they have all the ingredients for!) surprises me.
Come on, folks, it was /difficult/ to prove that thing for the poor guy! You might as well get some use out of it!
