Second marking
- Confirm the marking period and arrangements with the second marker.
- Ensure the second marker will be available at the required time:
- marked assessments should normally be returned within 15 working days - please note this refers to the university working days;
- wherever possible students should receive feedback/feedforward in good time to inform their subsequent work.
- Confirm the process to ensure consistency will be achieved across markers. For example, some teaching teams double mark a sample of marked assessments for each grade to allow other markers to gain a sense of the levels.
- Agree the process of feedback to markers to support development and consistency, especially when inexperienced staff are marking for the first time.
All of the above are informed by the Assessment and Feedback policy and guidance.
