One year ago, for a uni required course, the teaching team had to double mark the work of 1200 students. I personally marked 734 essays.

This year, we are marking just our own tutorial students, not double marked, but returned with comments. I'm responsible for just 100 papers.

I long for the "good ole days". These 100 papers are taking me 4 times as long as it took me to do 734 because i have to write comments 😭😭. #AcademicLife #WhatIsWorkLifeBalance
