End of Semester

Typically at the end of Semester we have the usual dramas. Students failing themselves. Students submitting (but not checking) their assignments. Students not getting the work done. Typical typical. Not any surprises. But for some reason this semster has been a little more fraught than usual.
Students aren't aware that they actually grade themselves. How well they do is usually a function of 90% how much work they put in and 10% talent.
Those who work hard ususually do well.
This is something I must remind myself of while doing the PhD. Hmmmm.
