Just finished round one of my final exam grading, and heard a great speech on the role of finals connected to life tests and other ways of assessing the ability of people. Lots of stuff about how martial arts should be the model for all examinations.  I wonder where he got that idea. . .

Here is a great post about what the right comments put well on a paper can do for students.  I never got comments like this on papers after my master’s degree program.
