Wow
This student just stopped me and told me that I have totally changed her life and she's really grateful to me.  |

did you rip her a new one and get her to re-evaluate her pathetic life so she went and trained to be a nobel-prize winner or something?

Embarrassingly I'm not sure when I taught her (they all look the same). But it has made me feel that I do an OK job.
And I almost never give a student an A. The second marker has at times busted a student up to an A though

What is it about kids and their habitual lying?

I got a D in art. Then I became an architect. Kinda like how Jordan got cut by his high school basketball team. Ok, maybe not quite like that.

I taught at a local Uni for two semesters about 10 years ago. I absolutely hated it! The students were dumb and the Uni didn't even pay for my parking!
We were required to grade on a curve. So you added up the points for the semester and gave 5% A's, 20% B's, the rest were discretionary C's, D's and I had to justify any failures - as if the marketplace wouldn't eventually do that.

Required to grade on a curve? I don't think I'd like that.

In life, you only have to be slightly better than your peer group. |

Truth.
Any tiny sign of superiority will immediately give you an advantage whether it's actually worth a shit or not.

Other jokes aside, it's a really good feeling when a student feels that way about you.

the students here are often dumb. widening participation agenda etc... don't get me started....
no curves here. I rarely feel an essay deserves anything above 68% but I have given a couple of 70s. it is rare though. I fail far more which has given me an unfair reputation.
