| 00:00 - 00:05 | I get an email from a student asking me when their test marks will be posted |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and asking if i can hurry up and finish marking |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I got annoyed right away, its too soon |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | its only been two weeks since they wrote the test |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | So i tell him that he will get his mark in three weeks |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | three weeks |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | three weeks |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | But i could post the marks in one day if i wanted to |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | three weeks |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | I told them that i have to zoom call certain students suspected of cheating |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | but thats just bullshit i called no one. |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Last semester i posted the final exam marks after two months |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | some, some students got their marks |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | after two weeks, in the new year |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | I told them that i was very busy marking |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | but instead i went on a vacation |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | two months |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | So i got even more emails from students |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | everytime they ask i add one more day until i post marks |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | I told them that i will post the marks soon and by soon i mean in a month |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | Maybe in five weeks |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | or six weeks |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | No but on a more serious note |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | one of my students needs to know her mark |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | becasuse she has a deadline to transfer her program |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | So i posted her exam mark last |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Her deadline passed, she did not know mark |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | so she did not transfer programs |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | They believed me when i told them three weeks, but now they have been waiting for five weeks |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | three weeks |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | Now, Now i am telling them |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | that it will be done in a few days |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | but it will take at least two weeks |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | to post the test marks |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | I told them that its complicated and time consuming to mark the test |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | but its not complicated at all |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | no its all multiple choice, d2l marks it automatically |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | Its been six weeks now and i still have not posted the marks |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | six weeks |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | I still tell them that i will post the marks soon |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | So when will you post the marks |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I don't know maybe in two, three months, maybe next semester |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | I am still telling students that i am checking their scrap paper |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | but i did not even bother looking at their scrap paper |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | So i just posted the marks from d2l |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | that they got when they finished the test. |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | I could have done that right away instead of making them wait weeks. |
