Re: not coping

That makes it hard for you @outlander You sort of gauge how you are doing from past assignments, if you don't have a grade then you don't know what you could have done better or what you already did that was great. Hopefully you don't have to wait much longer.

I sometimes watch the voice but besides that not really anything else and try and stay off facebook too. It just seems everything is about covid lately and I would rather just ignore it.

Re: not coping

i guaged on the first 2 and done it with the following ones but its hard when theres such a massive gap between markings. i mightve improved or maybe ive totally stuffed up and now i cant improve the assignments that ive jsut handed in. its abit annoying tbh and i know that she has other students but if the work load is so heavy (its online so can be done anywhere in the world) they really should have a few people doing it

Re: not coping

That would be too logical having a few people doing it hon!!

As a past teacher the quicker you get assignments back to students the better.

Is there someone else you can contact about it? Seems a bit unfair to you and the other students.

Re: not coping

no not really @Snowie i could contact head office but they generally just pass the msg on to the teacher. sureley they would have more then one person assigned! evne on their actual course it says generally marking takes between 7-10 days which is fair enough, not complaints but its been 6 weeks already. ive even been really delaying the assignments. the one i handed in a few days ago i had ready after 2 and abit weeks but i had it sitting there for a few extra days in hopes i might get marks back so i could add in any corrections from previous assignments

Re: not coping

7-10 days sounds reasonable hon @outlander but certainly not 6 weeks.

It would make it hard to hand in any more assignments and to gauge how you did on the ones already handed in.

Have you got anything on this afternoon?

Re: not coping

yeah it makes it tough @Snowie

i just have to go feed and give a horse an injection but thats all. will only take me an hour or less to do

are you doing anything?

In response to: Re: not coping

SnowieSenior Contributor

Re: not coping

oh should call you Dr @outlander !! If you are giving injections!!

I have parent teacher interviews for D this afternoon starting at 3:30pm. They are only via zoom but will take a few hours to get through all of her teachers.

Re: not coping

lol @Snowie i only do the smaller injections that ive been taught. this one is just a monthly one her a horses condition so its only smaller and shes easy to do. no way would i do the antibiotic one for the horses. seriously its massive

oh thatll keep you occupied for abit. im probably heading to the paddock soon so can get it done before it gets too dark

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

Even the smaller injections take some skill @outlander

I wouldn't care how big the needle is, I hate any injections. Have to get one Thursday night! (2nd covid vaccination)

Yes better to do it before it gets dark hon, which happens so early at this time of year.

Better go and make myself look presentable for the PTI. At least I only have to make myself look dressed from the waist up. My bottoms can stay in pj's.

Thanks for keeping me company today hon. Love our time together and our chats 💕💕💕

Re: not coping

hey @Snowie @outlander

@outlander my uni is a bit similar to yours - they take forever to mark things. I'm doing online course as well. It's absurd how long it has taken. I expect I won't get a result before the end of the next subject which started yesterday. I know the feeling @outlander
