i gave my first test last friday. i didn't think it was hard enough when writing it, but my students' faces said otherwise as they turned it in.
i started grading at 1pm on friday. i layed them all out (70 total) in my teaching lab and graded them "hamner-style". brian came by to help me. he graded practically every multiple choice question and we still weren't done by 5:30pm. i finished up over the weekend...took me 2 additional hours. yikes.
i either need to get faster at grading or quit giving so much partial credit. likely both.
You'll become less nice and more angry. So the partial credit will naturally diminish in distribution :)
