Brain Death

[jpskewedthrone]

Nothing like grading papers and designing, typing, taking, then revising exams to wipe the brain completely free of any coherent thought. That's pretty much how I spent my day. And I still need to take and revise one of the exams. I think it's going to need a few cuts due to time constraints. What will I cut? I WANT TO ASK IT ALL! *end tantrum*

I think I deserve a movie tomorrow. Knowing or Duplicity? Any nonspoilery advice from the masses?

PS--This is why teachers look so stressed all the time: all of the work we do outside of class that no one really pays any attention to. I mean, seriously, I spent at least 6 hours on grading and exams today. A Saturday. A Saturday when the sun was out and the temperature was actually in the "decent" range. (Sorry to all of those reporting snow, but we had a SPECTACULAR day here.)

I have this question about how they see the patterns as well, after seeing the paper the numbers are on. If the main character isn't a mathematician, I want to know how he discovers the patterns . . . and the way is probably disappointing from a math perspective. But we'll see. I can still enjoy the movie even if they do flub over the math. (My dad couldn't stand movies like Top Gun where they flubbed the jet pilot things since he was a jet pilot.)

And I do know some students also spend tons of time outside of class on work, just like the teachers. I'm guessing most of my students aren't those students though, based on the grades and work I see. *grin* And as rosinavs said, everything on the exam has been covered in class, so there shouldn't be any complaints there.
