I am in the mood for grading! What the heck is wrong with me... and why has it taken 25+ years for me to achieve this state?
Secondly, grading gen-chem lab reports has been eerily spooky. Questions that almost nobody gets right are seeing success rates of 90+%.
Of course, this year's exam average is about half a letter grade lower than last year’s, which was a whole letter grade lower than our historical averages, so goodness only knows what's going on.‡
‡ Spoiler: it's AI.
