Marking is one of the biggest challenges in TA/GA work. Not only is it difficult to learn the criteria for assessing student work, but it is also emotionally fraught. Participants in this workshop will reflect on some of the emotional aspects of marking while learning important criteria to be used in grading essay-style assignments. The workshop will include a hands-on experience in marking and giving feedback, as well as some discussion of general principles of the essay form.
