End of term


Ok so there are undergraduate and postgraduate assignments due in today with a performance-related-pay link* to getting them marked, moderated, agreed, sampled and back to students (and satisfying them with their marks and feedback) within two weeks, however...


* Meeting the two week target doesn't mean you get a bonus (ha ha - as if...!).  Failing to meet it means you can be deemed to have failed in your performance objectives. If you fail often enough you might not get an annual pay increment.
