A glimpse of light in the dark night of graaaaaading

[luzula]

I'm graaaaaading lab reports, and I just came across a student who can actually write! With flair, and complete sentences, and the correct use of semicolons! Dear student, you brighten my day. &hearts

I guess it's sad that this should be such a rare occurrence. I don't feel that I can take the time to correct grammar and spelling and punctuation--I'm supposed to be teaching them university level math, after all. They should really know how to write already. *sigh*

My zombie lab assignment has gone pretty well, though, aside from problems of grammar. I overheard students having spirited discussions of it. *g*

Don't you just wish you could give that student a cookie?

I think the zombie lab assignment was something of a stroke of genius. :)

Well, I did tell him that his report brightened my day!

And yeah, the zombie assignment makes for fun reading. One person had zombies attack his class to see how many would be alive to take the exam, for example.
