Woohoo.... another fantastic incident has occurred with regards
to the test I invigilated.....
One girl plain forgot which class she belonged to, and which one
of three venues to go to for the test.
So she simply joined up with some of her friends who belonged to
another class, and submitted her paper together with them.
And that class belongs to..... me. When I found her test paper
in the pile and realized that she wasn't on my class list, I
emailed her to ask her what was going on.
After she explained the whole situation to me, I gave her a good
barracking via email. I told her that I would pass her paper to her
tutor, and ended off with something like:
'This is a very serious matter. This is already your second
semester; you should know that it is your responsibility to know
which class you are assigned to. You should already have attended
two tutorial classes for this module as well.
'You should also know by now that the invigilator always
announces that it is the responsibility of each candidate to hand
in the correct answer sheet.
'In other words, had your paper gone missing due to your
carelessness, you would have been deemed to have sat for and FAILED
the test.'
After three semesters of teaching, I swear that I've never ever
seen students claiming that they still don't know which class they
belong to..... until this current semester.
