I wish. I'm actually quite far behind you still.

Yupp, you just turn around and - plopp - well over the 3 000 posts in a jiffy.

Well done FMC and WR, and TR-edge!

I give up - I am still correcting the exams and it is a major pain - not because of the volume but because of the lack of knowledge of the candidates!
Had/have to fail about 1 in 20 - which is higher than ever in my experience (i.e. in the past 7 years ...)

That sucks. You have to judge & correct them? Or are you more grading them & correcting them.

IMHO new stats should be done when either ...

1. a week has passed,
2. more than 300 posts have been added,
3. some serious serial neffing has been going on,
4. a TeAm-mate is on the run to fame ...

Well? When?

Hmmm. I think a week is too long, as I had to do that when we moved and there were TONS of posts to account for. I more try for around 3 -4 days at a time, or 4 pages (set to 40 ppp). ROFL @ #3. hehehehe.

I don't know--I'm just learning this stats thing. What do ya'll professional staters say as far as what the frequency should be? What ever ya'll decide, I'll be happy to ablige as much as possible.

Grading and correcting and then judging them ...
You know, this exam decides if they can work as MDs or not.

If someone fails this exam, he or she has to wait for 6 more months before trying again. Considering the economics of that (6 months of wages for an MD is a lot of money) it is some responsability ... Therefore I have to be very clear and motivate every failing grade very carefully.

OTOH: these guys and gals have had 6 years of medical school, and 2 years of internship - they should know better than to fail, especially since they know exacly what is required.
There is a very clear curriculum available to all at the Swedish Medical Association's web site...

Passing grades are easy ...

OTOH: I am not alone. My grading is checked by a committee of 5 others, and they have - as yet - never overruled me.

Then all you can do is be fair. Fair to pass and fair to fail. They know the concequences well before the test. They know that to be a doctor it requires serious professionalism.

I do not envy your task but I salute you for looking at both sides of the equation. 8 years is a long time to prepare for such a test, If I was taking it I would make sure I was prepared well in advance. Why else would one study for so long?

You are a good man Peter Its teammates like you that make this such a great place to call home!

I agree. Not that it was anything to that degree, but when I trained people for doing a job or standing a watch, I trained them with the idea that I was going to be sleeping when they were on watch. (the term johnny-on-the-spot comes to mind, although I'm not quite sure if it is the correct term, or even a real one at all).

Peter, I guess the final question of the test for you would be "Would I let this person work on me?"

ROFL... The time I have, I dedicate to here. I love this place. And I love the people. It's just too bad I can't have some of ya'll over for a few drinks sometime.

EDIT: The fact that if I am awake, I am on a computer (at work or home) doesn't seem to help much.

I thought you were already using it to ignore this thread????????

Yes, I am using it to ignore the thread. Seems DHL's website is just a little behind. Odd, how the first web site I go to with the new computer is the Anandtech Forums wonderful "please delete." thread...

There must be some sort of neurotransmitter that is released in my excuse for a brain when I ignore this thread.

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Okay, what is going on? I am posting this, and there are 3 posts on this page before this one as of right now. The post count is listed @ 3041, which would mean there were only 2 posts on the page.

What's going on? I thought I was losing my mind when I was last doing the stats, but I was right last night--the numbers are werid.
