No UiA teaching

I have been asked to step in to teach a course in Spring 2016 in Examen Facultatum (general version) at University of Agder, but have declined, since I already have lots of obligations (related to my job as Associate professor at University of Stavanger).

To grade more exam papers for University of Agder (Ex.fac.)

As I have previously mentioned, I have earlier this autumn agreed to grade exam papers in Examen Philosophicum (course code EX-100) for University of Agder's Department of Religion, Philosophy and History. 

Today I have, in addition, agreed to grade exam papers in the course Examen Facultatum, general version (course code EX-101). This Spring I graded papers in another version of Examen Facultatum, EX-102, the humanities version.

To grade 70 papers in Examen Facultatum

I have agreed to grade some 70 papers in Examen Facultatum at University of Agder's Department of Religion, philosophy and history (course code EX102) as an external examiner, along with an internal examiner. Today I picked up the exam papers. I will be responsible for a part of the exam (school exam) on the humanities which counts 2/3, whereas the other part is on philosophy of science and counts 1/3. Grading is due June 5th.

Grading for UiA conducted and in process

Yesterday I graded 6 papers (from a school exam) in the subject of Examen Facultatum (Ex.Fac.) for the University of Agder (UiA). This was, as far as I understand, the lot that had to be graded by two - with me as the second scholar.

Yesterday I further picked up the 163 exam papers (home exam) I will grade in Examen Philosophicum, for the same university. Got started yesterday and continued today, with 33 papers graded so far.

Unlike much other work I've done for UiA, this work pays really well. For the latter category of exam papers, I get paid for 2 hours for each exam paper - in total for 326 hours (plus 4 hours of preparation).

More assessments for UiA

Today I was asked to grade a further 50 or 60 exam papers in Examen Philosophicum for the University of Agder (UiA), on top of the 90 we have already agreed on. I was further asked to grade 8 papers in Examen Facultatum (general version). I have said yes on both accounts. I now have 8 papers to grade by May 29th, and a further 140-150 formally by June 11th (but in practice a bit before, since I have travel plans).

These latest assignments bring my approximate workload (Full-time equivalent) for UiA in 2012 up from some 8,5% to 12,5%. Adding this to the 62,5% for UiS, my total paid workload increases from perhaps 71% to 75%.
