...occasional witty or brilliant examination, and by the opportunity to discuss the answers with his colleagues. The student can't help regarding his grader as a mysterious nonentity who lurks in the corners during lectures and whose mental processes are utterly incomprehensible except for occasional rumor: "easy," "a bastard," etc. Most graders lack the time to comment on exams, and some courses even refuse to return them on request...
