One small victory!
My cross-grader for composition e-mailed me, letting me know that all my students passed their exit exam!

Much happiness on my end, since either the grader is easier than I am, or, the students actually learned how to write a researched essay, written in two hours time.

All but one of my students included a work cited!

much more happiness, since they thought it was for extra credit.

You know, this might help prove a theory I've had for some time -- when people know it's a test, and know that the outcome matters, they seem much more likely to freeze up and perform badly. When people think something doesn't particularly matter, they will often feel more free, feel less pressure, and perform to the best of their abilities.

Of course, these folks all had impeccable instruction, so that skews my theory a bit ... ;)

Congrats!
