This week is THE lab test week.
For the past few hours I have done nothing but to counteract possible misbehavours in the coming lab test. These, I concluded, stem from the brilliant idea of notebook teaching+learning. Everyone uses their own notebook computer during the class, and of course THE lab test! Everyone has access to wiressless network, which is undeniably essential when over-reliance on online materials including test questions has been highly stated. No more campus computers and so as farewelll to all the OS administrative skills I mugged from BackOffice books to gain FULL control of the LAN in my lab.
So I was euphoric for quite a while with the brilliant counteracting method I came up with. Same test question but divided into modular sections. Resequence the sections to produce different combinations of outcomes. Marking is easy, just check the correct sequence happening one after another. Copying is easy, everyone knows that. But modifying it to the RIGHT sequence requires skills and time. If one can thrive it within the limited time - of course deserve the marks even it is a copied+modified one.... sounded perfect.
It is still a good+working idea but creating the documents for the various versions, checking them, authorising them to correct names for all 40 students can truely suck the life right out of you.....
My eyes are burning.
My butts hurt because I've been sitting too long.
Note from a passer-by: (who has just conducted his own lab test)
(good thing not my module): much disappointment!
Note to self: you are doing the RIGHT thing. Passion. Conviction. Keep going....
