Today is the day of labs, as once again you will all be entrusted with the heady responsibility of USING SCISSORS! I fully expect fatalities by the end of the day.
There were some questions regarding test grading. The most frequently asked, is "Why don't we get them back the next day?". This is a legitimate question, depending largely on the tone of voice its asked in.
Here is why I take my time with tests. Its not the actual grading that takes time, but the assigning of points to each individual mistake. I look at the most commonly made mistakes, and assign partial credit appropriately. This means that I have to grade all the tests and then decide how to give partial credit to the incorrect short answer questions.
It takes longer, but I think it works in your favor. Mainly because I usually sleep on it. I make the decision the next day when I have a clear head. This usually means I'm in a better mood, which always works in your favor.
So please be patient.
Chemistry: (Hwk: Finish Pre-lab), Expect to start the PA sometime next week.
Random:
Ligers are real. They are a cross between a male lion and female tiger.
Though they are not bred for skills in magic, they are in fact, freaking huge! At 10 feet in length, and 700-900lbs they are the biggest kitties in the world. They are also quite fond of swimming.
There are also Tigrons which are Tiger-father/Lion-mother, but they pretty much just look like a tiger.
