I want to start off by saying; I love your title to this journal! Second, I know that my personal feelings have influenced the way I have graded in the past; how horrible is that? I have recognized this in the past and done what I could to get over it and grade the best I could, but like you said, we are only human. I do have to say that I couldn’t believe the grade differences either. How do you avoid it though? Also, I would agree that feedback is incredibly helpful. I am not necessarily one for constant feedback with every little thing I do, but I think it is important if you want your students to grow and develop. How can we change if we have no idea what went wrong? I agree with your comment about performance anxiety. I would much rather take a test over a presentation any day. I think it all depends on who your student is, everyone is different. No one loves presenting, but I literally get sick, dizzy and rash out. Presenting is not a comfortable situation for me.
