Today I have given my first exam – the midterm – in Instrumental Analysis. It was quite a challenge to put 2 equally difficult exams together, but I think it worked out in the end. After all, the content is not too difficult, but the challenge is rather to keep the different types of instrumentation in mind.The exams themselves were quite uneventful – although I have underestimated the time that it would take the students to answer the questions. I thought 1,5-2 hrs would be enough, but it took most of them the full 3 hours to get everything done.I now have a stack of papers waiting for me to mark them. I hope the weather is going to be bad next weekend. Next week there will be a couple of student presentations waiting for me and that will be enjoyable. The presentations are usually fairly good and I think most people find the feedback quite useful.
