Marking Update

I've got to say, I'm pretty impressed with this batch of practical reports. There is a definite improvement over last term, and I'm especially impressed with the first years, whose work in many cases rivals the second years. It makes it much more readable when it's high-quality work as well. Still... some people make the strangest errors. One paper I was marking earlier in the week had some serious problems with spacing - sometimes there would be 3 or 4 spaces between words, sometimes no spaces at all - about 20 errors per page like this. Surely it can't take that much time to get just one space between each word. Sometimes I think they just do this to make us wonder...

I'm just over halfway done with this term's stack...
