Prior to the start of marking, a sample of 2-3 assignments will be individually marked by all members of the marking team. Final marks and comments will then be discussed amongst the group to standardise the assignment expectations and marking process. All assignments will be marked blind to student names (student IDs only visible). All fail marks plus a cross section of all other marks (pass, credit, distinction and high distinctions) across all classes will be moderated. Where there is a discrepancy between the marks awarded by the first and second marker, the average mark will be awarded. If there is a student grievance around the marking, a third person will mark the assignment.
