If there is one part of part-time lecturing at the Cape Town Business School I do not enjoy, then it must be marking assignments. I now know every one of the students and I can see how each one gave it their all. Why give a mark? It feels like I am comparing apples and pears....every business case is interesting, every situation unique, every perspective valid. A fail or a pass would do it for me!
So, in order to make the most of the next week, I build my 'nest' for marking. Coffee on the stove, digestive biscuits within easy reach and soft soothing music in the back ground. I have contemplated a glass of wine, but if I get even more relaxed, marks may invariably also increase (!)
With empathy and hopefully some wisdom, I am leaving my mark :)
