I don't recall having an essay blind marked at uni. They'd usually come back covered in the marker's feedback and notations on the pages and my name was always on the cover sheet as well as the essay itself.

I always wondered how some of those international students got their degrees. I think we've all been in the situation of having to do group work with an international student. On most occasions the work they produce is utter crap, yet they somehow manage to pass their units and graduate. Very...

The Labor Government has been kicked from office after only 5 years 10 months in power. A government that came to power with so much promise has undoubtedly squandered it. Where and why do you think it went wrong? They in the end essentially kicked themselves from office. It is an...
