Reflections on teaching and learning in higher education by an award-winning teacher and trainer.
After spending days slogging through students’ final course papers, I have come to realize why there are mad professors. I am convinced that reading student essays kills brain cells. And by the time I finish reviewing the papers, final exams will begin. I will then be faced with an infinite stack of blue essay booklets. Now I understand the motivation behind the invention of multiple choice exams.
