so, today is the final week for normal classes in the seminary as well as being the exam week for final year students. just invigilated an exam for the isaiah class for 2 final year students. whether they will graduate this year on 20th october will depend in a small way on how they fared in their exam paper. their marks have to be ready end of the day for submission to the academic office so that by next tuesday, the faculty can discuss about their graduation. we will have to report to the seminary council on wednesday afternoon whether all the graduating students are graduating after all.
next week is the study week for the rest of the students. in the study week, there will be no more classes as we have finished our 14 weeks of teaching. study week in the past years in the seminary is always a frantic week for students to finish their assignments and prepare for exams in the following week (although for some subjects there are no exams required but an extra assignment in its place). students will often be in a zombie-like state with red-shot eyes and slower-than-usual responses.
nevertheless, study week is still a busy time for lecturers. although we have no more classes to teach, it is time to grade the assignment papers (whatever have come in by then). this is where the 'fun' comes in for some lecturers. sometimes, it is also 'agony' time for the lecturers as they have to read almost unintelligible scripts, bad english, badly written footnotes and bibliographic entries, and ambiguous phrases. red ink flows freely during this marking time. usually i will finish 1 red pen when i finish marking all the scripts. whew!
