The Art of Marking ...

To me, marking is just like men ... can't live with it and can't live without it (LOL!) Even during this break, am taking a pile and a half home, in case am bored, or feeling like being mad at something. i started marking 2 days ago, 5 - 7 essays a day. I am not happy. This sem, am teaching writing skills to BEN students, but to my disappointment, a few were not serious about writing and the language. They called themselves BEN students, but grammar wise, down the drain. They can't simply put in their mind that in every sentence, a subject must be followed by a verb, in every sentence, the verb must agree with the subject. My wish today, before the TICE comes along, these have already been checked in their minds!
