The guy that marked our assessment has got ot be the worst English teacher ever.
now, the marks were more or less accurate, but what was lacking was useful comments.
People with almost full marks got alrge amount of specific comments to get them those extra 1 or 2 marks.
people with mid range marks (50-70% : i think that a crappy average mark) like myself got a few verr vague comments, which just seemed to be randomly placed on the page.
people with the lower end marks (40-50%) got a single comment, "DO MORE WORK".
now, im sure having the lower makr would say to most people that this student isnt doing enough work preparing. But i read some of the essays, and they had more content then mine. A lot of the lower marked people just did badly set out essays.
i was a person with vague comments, like the words "give an example" next to a line from a poem i analysed.
does this guy sound like a terrible marker to you?
