I have spent nearly 7 hours as a demonstrator today. 1pm till nearly 8pm, with only a 2 minute loo break at one point and a 15 minute coffee break at another point.
Supervisor was very busy, so kept running off and leaving me in charge.
Picture the scene: 35-40 second-year-undergraduates, many of whom don't really want to be there. Far more work than they could realistically get through in the time (yes, the questions took me about 45 minutes to an hour, but I had the answer sheet so I suspect that helped, as I didn't get stuck on any one question that way). And some very hard questions designed to push people's reasoning ability.
And one Eni.
I spent a lot of time running. And grinning. And explaining the same few questions over and over. Mostly the one that involved basic trigonometry that they'd all done at GCSE but couldn't remember.
I am somewhat tired now. And we have a lab tidying session tomorrow morning at 9am.
I suspect I should get me some dinner already!
