Dear Andre
I as well as the student was happy with your constructive feedback, as your feedback was indeed a great learning curve. Let us talk about it on Thursday as I’ll be out of office as from tomorrow until Wednesday, attending our second graduation ceremony in Alice.
Kind regards.

Hallo Andre
Jou kommentaar is besonders deeglik en van groot hulp. Ek dink jy praat met deernis :) met die studente, wat hulle baie waardeer. Dis ook duidelik dat jy regtig met moeite die dokumente bestudeer, want mens kan nie soveel waardevolle kommentaar lewer net op 'n vinnige oorsig van iets nie. Daar is min aspekte wat jy voorstel wat ons nie gaan aanspreek nie.
Ek dink soms ons het almal opleiding nodig in hoe om te eksamineer, want dit is eintlik nogal 'n moeilike iets om te doen. Hoe om kommentaar te lewer wat waarde toevoeg, sonder om soos nog 'n studieleier te klink, en hoe om krities te wees, sonder om naar te wees. En hoe om elke studie op sy eie waarde te eksamineer sonder om jou eie spesialiteit daarop te probeer afdwing.
Vir my is die hele proses van eksaminators soek en met hulle terugvoer werk nogal 'n uitdaging:) Elke keer soos 'n dobbelspel.
Soms werk dit goed uit, soos met jou :))
Lekker werk!
