School | Australia
(One of my students was absent the day of a test and she has had just handed it in.)
Me: “Okay, class. Now that [name] has done the test, I can give you them back.”
(I hand out the test papers.)
Student: “Where’s mine?”
Me: “You just did yours today. I’ll have it back to you tomorrow.”
Student: “But you just said!”
Me: “How was I supposed to mark it in 5 minutes?”
Student: *completely serious* “Doesn’t it just automatically mark itself?”
Me: “Okay, class. Now that [name] has done the test, I can give you them back.”

I would like to learn more about this new self-marking exam technology.

ReplyDeleteI just wasted an hour of my life reading that website. It's awesome. Totally got bookmarked in my "schadenfreude" folder.
ReplyDeleteI would say: "By making such a stupid remark you have proven to me that you are too idiotic for college. Leave now." If they don't, I call the cops.
