Whew, lots of extra work...

I had to work both this weekend and the whole day yesterday in order to hurriedly revise my exam to give as a home exam, and preparing to give a lecture remotely (including learning how Zoom works, etc). Both those things are now done, and I am taking tomorrow off. After that I'm graaaaading. Would be interesting to know how many students cheated on the exam (by asking someone for help) and how many didn't--they were allowed to use books, internet, etc, though. I will never know.

In other news, I have a slight sore throat; there is obviously no way to know what the cause is, but I will self-isolate as well as I can in an apartment with three other people. : / I am 40 years old and otherwise healthy, so I am at least not in a risk group. I wish you all luck. ♥

Fic at 39,000 words, so at least some things are going well.

Feel better soon!

To be honest, I told everyone that this was their opportunity to write the best final exam of their lives, and if they had to do it by committee, so be it.

And nobody is getting less than a B anyway, because good god, what kind of person is going to seriously expect these poor kids to be on their game during a time like this!

I do feel better today, actually! Still, impossible to know what it is--I will take it easy and keep to myself.

My course is one where ordinarily about half the students who take the exam don't pass it. I'll report back when I've graded this one, it'll be interesting to see what the results are...
