You seems like a very good teacher with the natural teaching talent. I think teaching has it pros and cons. The feeling of delivering a lesson is very nice. However, like what you said, marking can be very dry and boring. Hi,

I think teaching has it pros and cons. The feeling of delivering a lesson is very nice. However, like what you said, marking can be very dry and boring.

I'm sorry it's such a task but I would, and hopefully your students do, appreciate your work so much!

If I could decide to mark haphazardly, I would not even complain that marking is boring because I would finish my marking duties in a very short period of time. As a Christian, I have to make sure that after marking the scripts, the inner man does not convict me of doing a sub-standard job. As a Spirit filled Christian, I hope you now know what I mean. @pdimba:The fact I try to mark my scripts with

Unfortunately at my college there are too many lecturers that seem to enjoy marking students and especially failing them. Good luck with that publication! You seem to be a great teacher!
