Lessons from my TAship

In Canada you don't proctor an exam. You invigilate an exam.

It's the same in the UK (as Canada, that is).

(Been there, did that)

That is *so* much better than "proctoring".

I like it better.

I always thought Proctor sounded like it should involve latex gloves. Which, actually, was fitting for many of the exams I took...

In Soviet Russia, exams invigilate you.

I misread that as 'inveigle' the first three times I read it.

also, I agree with [livejournal.com profile] tfabris.

I love my invigilatologist. You hardly even know he's there.

It's invigilate here in Malaysia too... which isn't surprising, since our education system was developed when we were Brit-owned.

Hm, at McGill we used both interchangeably. Though the official title of the people was Invigilator.

Maybe we just had a lot of murricans around or something.
