On Thursday after lunch, we all gathered to mark the tests written and created (probably a better word for describing the posters) by our future-students. First we all put ourselves in their shoes and took the placement test - not as easy as one would have imagined, but we put our heads together and made it through! Then, the easier part of the marking followed, as we were supposed to compare the students' tests to the correct answers. Nevertheless, the trickiest part of the session was getting closer. After finishing the correction of the tests, we moved on to the written tasks. We were to work in pairs and to try to agree on the number of points we were going to give the students for various aspects of their performance. That might be a difficult task sometimes, however Maruška and I turned out to be on the same page most of the time and when some minor differences appeared in our suggestions, we were always able to reach a compromise with no difficulties. We especially liked the posters which were often very funny and carefully carried out! Moreover, it was quite interesting (QI! Do you know the show? I love it! Stephen Fry! ..sorry, couldn't help it..) to watch the difference between the number of points given to the same student for his/her letter and the points he/she obtained for his/her poster.
