You have my vote in favour of the top posters. I find it annoying and
time consuming to scroll all the way down a long list of replies to find
the new message somewhere near the bottom.

I agree it is a matter of personal preference, there is no "right way".

So cast your votes folks and then we can hopefully reach a consensus at
least for this list!

IPM] IPM New to list)

	Some of us top post, some of us bottom post, in the end we have
a garbled conglomeration that you have to scroll down to read, never
quite getting the gist of who posted what comments in answer to what.

	Can we have a vote or whatever, but can we have some CONSISTENCY
please??? Personally I prefer top posters, that way I don't need to
scroll down to find the last comments, and presuming the thread is of
interest I have already read the other posts anyway.

	Also is it possible that the topic can be renamed when the
subject has strayed?

functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the
dog.

	The debate is getting lively here!

	In reply to Ron Lel

	This is not strictly correct Andrew. While the correction
depends on the number of students, the preparation is the same as if it
were for 2 separate classes. - Preparation is much the same but not less
marking. I try to give my students as much feedback on homework tasks
etc as possible. The number of students clearly has an impact on this.
Also with 25 students I have no time in class to complete any other
tasks. I know from experience that in a small class (is my 8 students in
maths methods) there are quiet times when one can do prep and marking

	 I would suggest that Robert asks for more than a "small time
allowance". If i had 20+ students I would apply for 2 sessions and hope
to get 1

	Bet he doesn't get it though.

			Margaret makes a very vaild point here - i would
argue that if i have to run a combined course for VCE, where there is a
large amount of marking and preparation, then i ought to be given a
small time allowance for it. The volume of work does depend on the
number of students though - what numbers are we talikng here?
