I'm not sure if you were referring to me or not, but I do grade fairly. Indeed, my dean's views on grading allows me to grade fairly in ways that many other folks are not free to do. It is a rather refreshing place to work for that very reason. Students know they have to work to earn their grades -- and they do work to earn those grades. And, in the process, I get to grade some fantastic papers. Plus, the slackers who are coasting to graduation do not complain about their grades and do not expect to slack their way to a B grade.
No, I was not referring specifically to you iomhaigh, just to some of my colleagues.
Cool -- I still find it hard to tell where the conversation goes on these boards at times. I'd offer to show you how to get into Brigadoon, but we are mostly done with hiring for this year -- maybe next?? :)
