It has been a long semester. I’m teaching two courses and trying to figure out how to be undergrad chair. Really, it made Kat being away less of an issue: I wouldn’t have had much time to do anything anyway. I’m guessing I averaged around 60 hours per week this semester.
I just finished marking the 470 projects. They were bimodal, as the class has been all semester. Apparently, my 120 exams are marked and I’ll get them tomorrow morning. With some luck, all the final grades will be done tomorrow. Realistically, Wednesday morning.
The CS Xmas party is tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will go well: as the chair of the Social committee, I had a hand in it. It pretty much followed Greg’s event organizing pattern: phone a restaurant and tell them about 100 people are coming, ask grad students to organize entertainment, done.
Update 12/12: I just approved my first final grades (one of the duties of the undergrad chair). That was exciting.

Who approves your grades that you give in your courses this semester? Or is one of the perks that you get to approve your own grades?

Turns out I’m forbidden to approve my own grades. I have to get Uwe to approve them. Thus causing a five minute by-phone tutorial on goSFU.
BTW, 470 is down. 120 should be done in the morning.
