Different markers for different forms? (1 Viewer)

[fleepbasding]

Are there a different set of markers for each different form?

Are all the scripts and speechs and videos marked by separate markers or do they just throw 'em all into a batch?

And do they mark 'em as a cohort (like, all from one school are marked together)?

I don't know if anyone knows this sort of information, but I'm just curious about it.

They don't arrange by school, if they know which school a paper/work is from they have to abstain from marking it. Most subjects do arrange loosely by region, so I imagine the same is true for EE2. In addition, IIRC the lecturer that my short story group had at the EE2 study day seemed to infer that she marked short stories and short stories only.

Just to add to the above -

I was under the assumption that a marker is *not* allowed to mark any major works from their school, so perhaps they do use the regional separation.

I doubt that they'd mark by school. Randomness is good

Some subjects are marked by school. I remember a(n Industrial Arts) teacher saying he knew how people in his class went before the results came out, because he walked past the desk of the person who was marking our school's stuff. I don't know how true it is or even if it applies to Extension 2, but it's something to think about.

Well i know alot of other subjects are marked by school cause my Society and Culture teacher was talking about how when certain centre's come in for marking they all tend to have a certain standard, implying they all get marked together. My EE1 teacher also told us to use different related material, cause the centres are marked together and in some centres every person has the same RM.

Although EE2 may be completely different because of the nature of the work.

As far as I know, it's divided regionally and the markers are all specialised in one form.

i think there are subjects where they are marked as a school, i'm sure someone would be able to correct me, but i think the visual art markers have to come through schools, aswell as the drama. though i have had conversations with a teacher who have marked ee2 before, and from what i can gather, the markers are specialised in a certain medium, although i'm uncertain as to whether they are marked in a regional sort of contingent.

 

[fleepbasding]

thanks for that. Where did you get that info from, just out of curiosity?

I remember my teacher talking about how they just picked them at random, although they arent allowed to mark works from their particular school. All sounded a bit random, but she seemed to have marked quite a few different mediums from poetry to videos and documentaries.

Also, teachers who are teaching the course that year are not allowed to mark it.

Also, teachers who are teaching the course that year are not allowed to mark it.

yeah, that makes sense.

 

[black_man]

i can recall that the teachers initially meet to contrive a sort of marking criteria for each medium so as to have them all marked equally, and i think there may be specialists in each medium called in to mediate that sort of occurrance

my EE2 teacher has a friend who has marked the major works before and says they aren't particularly harsh. any1 else heard anything along these lines? :uhhuh:

i hope your teacher's friend is correct
