at least the majority will be marking from the comfort of their homes due to on-screen marking, instead of the pig sties of Sydney Showground.

bump

true true, but something is better than nothing.

Hoping that at least they will retain this: What happens is that the senior marker will mark one out of every 10 responses marked by each marker, and if the mark discrepancy is too great, the senior marker and the other marker in question will sit down and discuss their marking etc, and try to...

What so you mean by the "new exam structure"? It is staying the same, no?

Something interesting is the article says: So it happened last year as well :/ Then, why weren't students and schools told last year? So much for transparency....

just reminding you that double marking has only been removed for section 1 of paper 1. only the belonging short answer will be marked by one marker only. in a way, it is good that BOSTES is only making this change for belonging section 1, because it is the most black and white section of either...

An absolutely wrong move, especially in such a subjective subject. A teacher once told me that one out of every 10 essays would have a mark discrepancy of 4 or more, and then such essays would be looked at by the senior marker for that Q, who would then determine a mark taking into account...

the thread was made before you joined bos. so you lose. :lol:

for the first Q, no need to consider Lenz's Law. as for the 2nd Q, I'm not sure :/

definitely this and also this

i.e. how do you formulate a goal without first having an idea of what your level is and what you're expected to be on track for....

^ basically what I was thinking, but expressed much better :lol:

Oh yes my bad, Clarke still did play a role in that SCG match but so did Bucknor (iirc) - what a dodgy umpire. I think they got rid of him soon after the match I was actually thinking of was Mumbai in 2004 - quite a while ago :D

oh come on. who do you think you are? different people have different expectations and goals. just because some people have higher expectations than you might have made for yourself doesn't mean that such people have made invalid/stupid/inflated goals etc. and besides, band 6 isn't too...

Clarke is nowhere inconsistent as you make him out to be - you can't expect a player to get 50+ in each and every game. In fact, he is widely regarded by leading cricket commentators as one of the most consistent batsmen in recent years. And his bowling is quite good, for a part-timer. e.g. the...

I don't think emilios considers a B5 as good enough.
