Prelim 2010

I never marked these much of prelim papers in my 4 years of teachings.

98 students, each did 2 questions which were 25 marks per question. Each question has 5 parts which include data analysis, explanation and level markings. marked 980 questions for paper 1 which is the physical geo paper in total. Wait... that's not all

99 students turn up for paper 2, I was assigned to mark 105 questions which has 5 parts each also...525 questions in total for paper 2 human geo.

This batch of Sec 4s are really a better lots as compared to my previous graduated batches. They really write... even if they didn't know, they tried and wrote weird stuffs. -_-"'

980+525=1505 questions... for the past 10 days. I started marking since last tuesday when I completed my sec 3 test markings.

that's it, Prelim 2010! i just need to analyze u and be done with it!
I finally finished marking u today!

ya... art booklets... hope I can bring back some interesting and fun aspects of learning and art lessons from a western point of view. They do things quite differently... ha
Hope I'm coming back too but I won't keep my hopes up high, don't want to be too disappointed by the outcome...

8 more weeks, term 4 is ending soon!:)
