On maternity leave. HOD called today, very nicely. Could I set the class 9 paper since I know the portion best. I said I'll think about it. Haha. I don't know what I'll be thinking with.

    set it at 2am like the rest of us, we're all awake anyway 😅 kidding. Is it paid or a favour?

    Is this something that was agreed in your leave terms, or a favour being asked? Those are very different conversations, and the answer to the first is usually written down somewhere.

    As someone who sets papers: a full paper is two or three evenings of focused work plus a round of checking. If you do say yes, ask for the blueprint and last year's paper upfront so you're not starting from nothing.

      Blueprint ante the chapter-wise marks split? Asking because I remember a different word for it at school.

      Replying to @ochre_bottle_3061

      Yes, chapter-wise marks plus question types, from what I remember of my own school days. Ours used to be pinned on the notice board before the exams.
