Y Chaos

Last week, I've mainly been invigilating @ Y Coleg, an associate institution to Swansea University. (See blog passim). 

As usual, they are Chaotic Class, with wandering monsters. 

Initially I was told it was a 2 hour exam, subsequently reduced to 90 mins. Of the 47 undergraduates expected, 17 turned up within 30 mins of the start time. Of these, 7 could not access the computer based exam, as they hadn't logged in to the course at all this year. 2 more couldn't log in at all, as they messed up their passwords. One guy acted as if he'd never seen a keyboard in his life, and eventually took 5 attempts on 2 different terminals to log in. 

The Lecturer appeared, and claimed to have never seen half of the cohort this year. Quite a few went to their normal teaching room, not the exam suite. Apparently they don't read emails.

Despite this, most finished the exam in 20 mins, and had to sit & wait until the minimum time allocated had passed.
