the highest for essays in ur class was 14?Crik8 Rulz said:Got 80%. 2nd in class. but our teacher says that he wants to mark us hard so that we don't get a "false sense of security" for the HSC. the highest in the essays was 14.
And the latter statement is a huge downside, which is why I'm against teachers marking either harshly or leniently. My english teacher tends to just mark our essays the way he sees it...no leniency or harshness to the marking, which is what I like.Crik8 Rulz said:Yeah, the higest was 14. He said he didn't want to encourage us too much. so he marked us down.
but guess, in a way it might be good, we hav to do better in the hsc. on the flip side, some ppl in our class got so discouraged - they've given up.
I think that's a good way to mark. that way, ppl face reality and try to improve it, instead of becoming over-confident or just giving up.~ ReNcH ~ said:And the latter statement is a huge downside, which is why I'm against teachers marking either harshly or leniently.

Is that happiness to be 2nd for 5 years in a row or frustration at not getting 1st?Deus said:I didnt do the CSSA paper (although i swear we did...)
But yeh my sig says it all.....*sighs*
True. It's better than being marked leniently. Nevertheless, you may feel disheartened if you put blood, sweat and tears into an essay and get 15/20 (when you would've got 19.5/20 in the HSC) simply because your teacher wants to "mark harshly". But as long as the class is understanding of your teacher's approach, then I guess it's ok.Crik8 Rulz said:I think that's a good way to mark. that way, ppl face reality and try to improve it, instead of becoming over-confident or just giving up.
