Barbara Versus the Undergrads


Over the years, I have noticed that the most sought-after WoB comics are those dealing with Barbara's TAships (and, later, her instructorships).  There are now enough of these comics that I can justify collecting them on a separate page.  This page is for you, run-down TAs, instructors, teachers, and markers of the world.  This page encompasses the frustration, despair, and helpless rage that can be associated with marking the work of university undergrads.

Any students who stumble across this page and decide to be offended should note that teaching definitely has a lot of good bits as well; they just don't make very funny comics.

Click on each comic to read its transcript.

As Tiny Tim might say:  happy marking...and God help us, every one!*
