Perhaps the study leave around the corner has caused an exhaustion to emerge, as I weigh up the urge to get on with the need to take time out. But there are still jobs to do:
- Write resit questions
- Comment on module questionnaires
- Deal with annual reports for doctoral students
- Comment on two dissertations
- Mark essay which has been resubmitted
- Mark essay from student given long extension
- Check and if necessary mark essay from student who had mitigating circumstances
- See doctoral student in London
