I just failed an essay.

They really, really deserved it.

It feels like there should be some kind of purity test for this.

Gosh. That's rather exciting.

Do you feel any different?

These essays are atrocious.

At the end of our marking we have to show Samina our three and bottom essays, and three that were about average, so she can see if we were fair.

Did you use a big stamp that stated 'FAILED' in red ink?

Tertiary Marking Purity Test

Have you ever:
-failed someone?
-felt bad about it?
-enjoyed it?
-been a little turned on by the sense of overwhelming power?

*laughs*

sadly the departmental budget does not stretch to such things.

Have you ever:
- Given students stern looks?
- Mildly reprimanded you students?
- Yelled at your students?
- Made students perform a physical punishment?

i suggest you stay away from all big uni functions (such as End of semester) from now on... last semester i had a guy who abused me for failing him... i said that he deserved 3/10 but i gave him 4/10... he then started abusing phil. -Gaz.

Well, if I'm not allowed to hit them I guess avoiding them is for the best.
