I work in a Language school who insists that when marking students exams, we actually write the correct answer for them on the test.

I believe that this is pedagogically wrong, that there tests should be graded but no"corrected" but cannot find any literature on the internet to back it up.

If I can go to MGMT with sources, maybe I can convince them that what we are doing does not help the student learn.

here is an article here Strategies for Correcting Students' Wrong Responses
Linda A. Meyer
The Elementary School Journal, Vol. 87, No. 2 (Nov., 1986), pp. 227-241 but it is only available to participating Universites (mine SDSU) is not part of them.

Starting college was something new to me and when people told me that college was a piece of cake, I seriously believed them-call me naive. Any who I am doing ROTC and I didn't do so hot this fisrt quarter so I took time off to get my act together, try to learn from what I am doing wrong and learn from it, find something that works for me. I was doing good in the beginning of the quarter, and still am in a couple classes, but yet I am not going to the full capacity I knew I could go to, or at least try to be at-because sometimes at the end of the day I feel so useless. Basically a paper was do Thrus. and this chick told me it was due Mon. And I came to class Thrus. unprepared, and it was due. So I spent the weekend working on my paper and my teacher said I would start at 70% percent and go from there. I turned in the paper but forgot the rubric. He basically said I need to get it together and he is right. Any techiques or word of advice on learning to be a better student?

Hi, guys!

Please, read the story first.

I went to a pub with my friends. And one of them got totally
drunk and acted really weird, obnoxiously sometimes...
However, he didn't remember anything the next morning.
Actually, this happens every time I go drinking with him.
Whenever he drinks, he turns into a total weirdo.
He sings and dances against the walls, talking bad things
about his boss... but, next morning? No clue!
He doesn't remember anything that he did during the night!
So, I want some phrases or expressions to explain this
in a simple but good way. haha!

But, I can't come up with any.
"He acts like a dog whenever he gets drunk."
could be possible, I guess... =)
Do you have any better idea?

(I'm not good at English, so it's difficult to tell what I really want to.
But, I hope that I made myself understood this time.)
