Top Post versus Bottom Post Confusion (formerly[Year 12 IPM] IPM New to list)

Tue Dec 6 10:17:06 EST 2005

Some of us top post, some of us bottom post, in the end we have a garbled conglomeration that you have to scroll down to read, never quite getting the gist of who posted what comments in answer to what.

Can we have a vote or whatever, but can we have some CONSISTENCY please??? Personally I prefer top posters, that way I don't need to scroll down to find the last comments, and presuming the thread is of interest I have already read the other posts anyway.

Also is it possible that the topic can be renamed when the subject has strayed?

The debate is getting lively here!

In reply to Ron Lel

This is not strictly correct Andrew. While the correction depends on the number of students, the preparation is the same as if it were for 2 separate classes. - Preparation is much the same but not less marking. I try to give my students as much feedback on homework tasks etc as possible. The number of students clearly has an impact on this. Also with 25 students I have no time in class to complete any other tasks. I know from experience that in a small class (is my 8 students in maths methods) there are quiet times when one can do prep and marking

 I would suggest that Robert asks for more than a "small time allowance". If i had 20+ students I would apply for 2 sessions and hope to get 1

Bet he doesn't get it though.

		Margaret makes a very vaild point here - i would argue that if i have to run a combined course for VCE, where there is a large amount of marking and preparation, then i ought to be given a small time allowance for it. The volume of work does depend on the number of students though - what numbers are we talikng here?
