Whenever I mark essay questions, I sigh a lot. I sigh because no matter how many times I have emphasised that answers should respond to the need of the question in my classes, some of my students are clearly still not on the right track.
When asked a direct question, almost all my students are able to give correct, pat answers – answers memorised from the textbook and regurgitated. Such answers can even be marked with an eye closed. Full marks, please.
