I messed up a spreadsheet, which means I have to re-do 105 scantrons. (We need to submit scantrons with our students' in-class averages, meaning the average of quizzes and homework but not exams. The online gradebook that I use, where students can see their grades from their accounts, has the overall average, including the exams. So I downloaded the gradebook data in a spreadsheet and used that to average the homework and quiz scores, but the downloading and re-opening shifted the column labels over by one, and I didn't notice it, so I averaged the wrong things. So I need to re-do all of the scantrons, so that the university computer can take those scores and add them to the exam scores, which is, by the way, the exact same thing that my online gradebook already does, and I can easily submit the total scores after adding them, but the university for some reasons needs me to submit the in-class scores separately, so that their computers can add them to the exam scores themselves.)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I am having mac and un-cheese for dinner, and I bought a box of candy, because the thought of filling in ID numbers and grades in 105 scantrons, in order to add together some numbers that my computer can already add together, requires comfort food and sugar.
Why I couldn't do Hil's job: in addition to being horrible at math in my own right, I'd be tempted just to give everyone an 80 and take my evening back. (I may be unemployable, but not for the reasons people think.)
No, you don't give everyone an 80, that's the biggest tell that you've fudged the work. Most people get an 80, a few get 90s and 60s, one or two get 99 and 32. The Bell curve is your friend.
Yeah, you're right. And if I'd been teaching them for a semester, I bet I could guess who'd be where.
Actually computing the grades is the easy part. Filling them in on the scantrons is the annoying part, and it's equally annoying with the real averages or fake ones.
Why crime doesn't pay: it's just as much work to do it right as staying legal.
Curses, foiled again.
in order to add together some numbers that my computer can already add together, requires comfort food and sugar.
If it doesn't just require alcohol and maybe comfort food, you are beating me.
Alcohol would have been good, but I didn't have any in the house, and there weren't any liquor stores on the way home. The grocery store I stopped at doesn't have seating for their prepared foods section, so they can't sell alcohol.
