There's one person who has so far answered most (!) problems on this exam by solving a related, but different, question.
Like they calculated ln(1-i) instead of ln(-i), integrated a slightly different function than the one in the exam problem, etc.
Once, I get - you misread, you misremember, it happens. But five or six times?!
-
I really want to find the person who evaluated the fourth root of one as 1,01 and ask what the fuck has happened there.
-
The person who didn't manage to finish grading the last exams before vacation... has to grade it afterwards. Ugh.
-
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!)
