Moderating external projects
Posted by David Wees on Mar 26, 2010
For the past three years, I've been an official IB Assistant Examiner. This means that each May (or November, but I usually don't sign up for the November sessions, too busy), I get sent a whole bunch of external exams or projects, and I have to grade the assignments. The money isn't great, it's a huge amount of work, but I see it as really valuable.
