ENG 1C03 marking TA position
I was recently given an offer for a 1C03 marking position, and am deciding whether I should take it or not.

I'll be really busy this year with side projects and such, and I was wondering what the work load was like for marking for 1C03? How many hours do you realistically put in every week?

Also, due to the subjective nature of marking hand drawn diagrams, are there a lot of students that complain and state they should have been marked differently?

I'd say marking lab assignments with the CAD software wouldn't be too bad, but marking the tutorial hand-drawn assignments could be a pain. I'd check to make sure before making your decision.
