the demise of the green pen

Martin is marking!
Each lecturer develops, over time, their own style which reflects both intentional values and unconscious personality.  One of Martin's choices early in his growth as a teacher of theology was to use green for marking rather than the more traditional red, or alternatively common pencil.  But this is no longer the case ... marking now has to happen on-line!
So marking no longer involves piles of paper or green pens.  For us this is good as it is a huge effort to make sure nothing gets lost in our house.  But for someone who is inclined to think with his pencil, this is quite an adjustment.  That is apart from the irritations inevitable in any sort of computerised system - they have all been designed specifically for the spiritual growth of their users!
