Done with exam corrections

I am done with marking exams and I am glad that it is over 😉 Thankfully, I was well prepared with a completed sample exam and points to be awarded for each single line of a correct answer. This helped me enormously (also in the past) to ensure a consistent quality of the marking. I have put the marks online (I use Moodle as a course software, which I have grown rather fond of, although I mostly use it as a file repository) and announced additional office hours. There was a steady stream of students today, though it was not too busy. Most went through their exams on there own and had a question here and there and a few tried to negotiate a better mark. I try to be as transparent as possible with my marking scheme, so everybody who had a look was usually satisfied with the way I marked the exams. Should I get the position that I have applied for, there will be even more marking to do, because I will teach more courses, but I am getting more and more efficient at it.
