Marking

Anecdote

It's supposed to be a bank holiday today, but I had to spend it marking CE317 examination scripts. Here are some of the highlights:

Flow can instigate a loss of consciousness in the player.
A half-page of doodles featuring: an angler fish attracting smaller fish to eat; a baby smiling as a chainsaw was about to strike it; a snail being salted; a dinosaur eating a tree; the word DOODLE. I'd have scanned it for you but I think there are probably rules against that for exams.
... which may cause the player to loose sight of the storyline ...
(That mis-spelling of lose cost them a mark).
Question: With the aid of an example, describe the concept of the wisdom of crowds. Answer: No Idea BUT I DO KNOW COMPUTER GAME DESIGN is super fun in University of Essex.

Overall, the average mark was 0.14% higher than the mark for CE217, so it's good to see people are improving in the third year.
