Especially since, as I recall, you were very worried about getting everything done.

I'm not submitting them until tomorrow. I don't relish ruining anyone's Christmas Day.

ETA: Nor my own.

[Harlow2]

Class 1 done and submitted
Class 2 done and submitted
Class 3 about 1/4 done.

Just got the papers last week: my institution has a weird calendar

[Harlow2]

Finally done.

Grading a very overdue (overdue grading--not overdue submission) MSc thesis. But it's going to go fast, because, just based on the first two pages, it's really good! Good writing, very smoothly constructed motivation for the study, sophisticated flow of ideas. I really, really hope I can cruise through this, give it an A, and move on with my day. 'Light touch' grading is so much easier when there's very little to criticize.

Congrats!  Do such theses actually get a letter grade, or just pass/fail?   Neiter my MA thesis nor PhD diss, at different schools, were graded on anything but a pass/fail basis.... what is common?

[ergative]

They get a letter grade. Our MSc program involves six classes + dissertation, and the dissertation project is (I believe) three times as many credits as a class. The final degree classification is the average of the coursework grades and dissertation grade, weighted by number of credits.

[kaysixteen]

Ok, what is the minimum passing grade, and can the student try again if he does not meet it?

Resurrecting the old grading thread to help with my motivation to get through this, given everything else going on right now that is taking my attention away from getting the grading off my plate from stuff that was due (or submitted) at the end of the short summer term from multiple summer courses. Technically, I can submit final grades through August, as we have multiple summer term lengths with one grading deadline, but this must be done.

In my grading queue:
44 quick reading responses
25 short research presentations
15 group projects (never again!)
11 role-plays
1 dissertation review

Anyone else on a grading binge?

[Parasaurolophus]

I am.

Ten more essays to go, then about 20 exams. Today is the last day of the exam period, and all our marks are due tomorrow. Ugh.

The reporting system is currently down, so I can't report anything.

[OneMoreYear]

I hope you got your grading done Para, and the system is letting you submit.

I'm in the weeds still:

44 quick reading responses DONE!
25 20 short research presentations
15 group projects (never again!) DONE!
11 role-plays
1 dissertation review

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

I have to grade:

1 set of lab midterms
1 set of lab reports
1 set of homework
1 set of tests

I think I can get it all done by Friday???
