Dear Debbie,
I think that assessing 21 students in a week sounds absolutely unmanagmeable. Apart from the fact that it would be mind numbingly boring I think it is just too much to expect that you can write up the assessments for so many students, unless they are not 'full' assessments. We do 2 a week each, which takes between 1-2 days, depending on the assessor and the student....
Not surprised you are having a near nervous breakdown if this is what was expected from you!

I am one of a select group of Assessors within DAS who have experienced this ill health phenomenon and curiosity begs me to ask is this a common occurrence within the profession? If so then what measures of support do other centres offer?
