Went to our local craft place to get a birthday present and was prevented from leaving by half a dozen very friendly rescued chickens (rescued last week), who don't yet know that cars hurt. They had to be picked up and carried to safety.

Not a bad total of sleep, now feeling more ready for the weekend. Bright, sunny, frosty earlier, but now clearing. However it's said to be clouding over later. Ear lowering time. If I can be ar5ed to get the rear end off the sofa. But I'd better as the shaggy dog look is turning into the frazzled Lion look.

The assessment is 30% of marks for an option section, choosing one of three and analysing that bit of data. 20% of marks for style and layout, having generated their wn template in one of the weeks workshops, win gave layout, how to create a table of contents. grammar advice, that sort of thing. 50% for the compulsory analysis, that of a hotel group Well, they: Did the 30% part reasonably Didn't use the template so got low marks for the 20%. Style was carp - it was supposed to be a formal report. Ignored the 50% completely And then they wonder why they fail.

More on students turning up. Sent out an invitation to a session I'd organised for Wednesday at 2pm for revision/teaching what they should have done. This is extra, and they're full time students. Email from student - I can't make that, could it be Thursday or Friday Email to student from me - It's the only time I can get a room Email from student - Can't you make it later, like 6? I have not replied yet. That will be on Monday. Do they call it 'entitled' now?

We're all paying their tuition fees as they've taken out loans. If they don't pay them back we'll still pay for them as they'll be written off.
