Rogue HSC marker falsely deducts 3 marks out of 5 (2024 HSC Physics) (1 Viewer)

Sorry but you were probably expected to write a lot more for a full 7 mark response. I had friends writing up to 2 pages for that.

What the hell can I do about this?

As for these 2, the first one probably could get 2 marks if you included just a bit more yapping/info. The second one however you fail to acknowledge HOW the experiment influenced the atomic model. Merely jumping straight to what aspect Chadwick changed fails to account for what about his experiment caused him to think that way.

In this response, you added blue shift to recessional velocity without explaining that this only occurs for a small number of nearby galaxies that are actually moving towards us. The universe is expanding and from our observation point, most galaxies are moving away, hence the phrase ‘recessional velocity’, so by adding the term ’blue shift’ without clarifying what that means, the examiner doesn’t know if you fully understand the concept of the expanding universe and recessional velocity and perhaps refrained from awarding full marks for this reason. Exams are really tricky because the limited allocated time means candidates have to convey as much of their knowledge in a condensed manner, so this is an example where adding to an answer without clarifying its relevance can actually raise doubt in the marker about the level of understanding of the candidate.

I am an examiner at postgrad level (not physics) and usually if I come across such situations, I will raise a question/comment in my marking sheet, to flag to the chief examiner that I am not sure whether such inclusions in responses show the examinee doesn’t fully understand the principles or is just under time pressure. I usually err on the side of being more generous with marks (because I fully understand time pressure and I usually take longer to write my model answers than I know candidates will have), but generally don’t award full marks in such situations of there being some doubt (because rote learning is all too common) unless it’s only a one or two mark question.

adding the term blue shift doesn't change the meaning

what exactly do you want mate

what exactly do you want mate

I want these 10k each paid markers to be held accountable for their extremely poor marking practices

 

[MoeyNeeds90+]

tf was he smoking taking 3 marks for that bullet points could even b6

thanks for bumping!

thankfully, due to your constant bumps, i, as a physics marker will give you all the marks you desire. thank you for your cooperation!

kind regards and apologies,

edit- sorry for this but theres really nothing we can do if u r tryna get more marks

Not quite sure what this is as I was referring to q23. Either way, sample answers aren't to be used as a standard of a b6 response.
