https://theconversation.com/how-school-grades-can-affect-mental-health-particularly-for-girls-277907; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hec.4982 (open access). "Our #research shows that earlier & more formal #grading can increase clinically diagnosed #mentalhealth #problems, particularly among #girls." This really ought not to come as a surprise! The more pressure you put young people under to perform, & perform well, academically, the more likely it is they'll crack. They aren't dogs jumping through hoops at Cruft's!

🤔 #Sal #Khan ponders why his #AI #utopia hasn't materialized yet—perhaps it's because AI isn't magic, and schools aren't quite Hogwarts! 🧙♂️✨ Meanwhile, educators everywhere are still waiting for an AI #revolution to save them from #grading #papers. 📚✏️

In this episode of "Clueless Tech Chronicles," our hero accidentally hires an #AI to grade its own homework. 🤖✏️ Naturally, the AI gives itself a gold star while #Cloudflare blocks the bewildered programmer for typing "Hello, world!" wrong. 🚫💻 As always, the solution is to email someone who probably doesn't exist. 📧✨

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

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.

I don’t see why I should have to grade all these assignments, just because I’m the one who created them, assigned them, distributed them, and insisted that students complete them. 🙄 so unfair!

Years ago I saw a #meme: a person (kind of blurry?) sitting in a comfy chair in their living room with a stack of papers to grade. There was also an alcoholic #beverage on a side table. It said something like "Believe me, you want to be on the bottom of this stack."
I've looked but I can't find that meme. I need it.
I'm in the last throes of grading (intro #statistics team projects). I just graded two very bad projects--obviously thrown together (by a team of six people?) at the last minute--and the amount of #CYA I had to go through in response to complete half-assed lack of effort by someone else (on a lovely evening when I am stuck doing this) is frustrating.
The next few projects are probably, realistically, going to get the kid-gloves treatment.
Oh, wait. I don't have a drink. Maybe that's what's missing.

In its wisdom, #SUNY central has apparently decided that allowing an instructor to manage multiple sections of the same course from one LMS shell is a violation of #FERPA
So here I am coding and entering grades and fighting with #brightspace to perfectly synchronize my two intro #statistics courses.
I would like to have a conversation with whatever SUNY lawyers made this ridiculous decision, with a FERPA representative on conference call.

When, as an #instructor, I’m #grading and feel the need to write “this is a very interesting approach to this assignment,” I really don’t mean it as a compliment

The book *Grading for Growth* by @dccmath and @RobertTalbert is now available! Read about it and find the link to order on their Substack: https://gradingforgrowth.com/p/grading-for-growth-the-book-is-now
My calculus class appears as a case study in chapter 5 (“Standards-Based Grading”) as a fairly straightforward example. Of course I’ve made a few changes in the system even since I did this interview 😉 but I think it still stands as a good reference for anyone considering an SBG or other alternative grading system.
Check it out!

There’s some discussion of students ‘gaming the system’ in this article about ungrading university courses, but nothing much about AI tools like ChatGPT. This movement has been gathering pace for years, and I think that we’re at a tipping point.
Hopefully, this will lead to more Open Recognition practices rather than just breaking down chunky […]https://thoughtshrapnel.com/2023/05/18/ungrading-the-university-experience/

An offset to the end-of-term, #grading blues was finishing my #HobbitReRead over the weekend. Delightful as always.
The true unsung hero, of course, was the thrush.
Now I'm finishing my #UnfinishedTales #ReRead. I'd totally forgotten that the Blue Wizards, who were lost in Rhûn, had names in Valinor.
If only we had their stories.
