Tutor marking guidelines
Below in the table I have tried to provide some guidelines for
you to use whenmarking assignment 1. As a general approach, I adopt
the deducting marksapproach for most of what we mark in written
assignments in other wordswe deduct marks when an error or omission
occurs. To give you someunderstanding of the standards I use to
deduct marks, at the top end I haveno problem with giving full
marks for a technique where it is all correct.Similarly at the
other end if students do not submit a technique, submit thewrong
technique or submit the correct technique but show no
correctapplication of it at all, they should be awarded zero marks.
A mark of 50%therefore should reflect the standard of a pass in
this unit, which is to say that
they have demonstrated some knowledge or skill in a technique
but there arehowever some deficiencies though not so critical as to
make their attempt ofno value to a reader. So I deduct marks on the
basis of the above standard.

Business process workflows for new
system
Should be for new system and not
current
Should identify workflows as
discrete events e.g. a cancellation of
an appointment is independent of
making an appointment and so
should be drawn as a separate
workflow
