Criterion Based Marking and Feedback to Students

To be or not to be, that is the question!

Page 2: Criterion Based Marking and Feedback to Students

What are the Issues?

• You have all had a chance to read the submissions, so we don’t want to spend much time going over them. This system has taken years to develop and has been well tested in previous years.

• Always two sides to an argument eg Carbon tax or typhoons!

• Is this about criterion based marking or electronic marking?

• Is it a matter of old versus new? • What is the best practice, the known or the new?

Objectives

• Assessing the objectives – students know what is being assessed.

• Understand and interpret – not just rote answers

• ???

Page 4: Criterion Based Marking and Feedback to Students

Students

• Understand and interpret not just rote answers– but do reports become rote?

• Students gain sense of achievement, pride – eg understand journal article

• Lots of feedback from students – Some positive (Pos p12) and some negative (Neg P1)

• Higher year teachers can assume what students know.

Feedback

• What feedback is needed; to know they have passed criterion or know what marks they got?

• Does it lack transparency?• Is it enough to have model answer and common points, or

are individual comments needed? • Don’t need to know where they lost marks, but where they

need to improve.• Some say it is a much fairer system, some say much

harsher, computer drops too many marks if criterion not met!

• Do some concentrate on ** questions to pass or on D/HD questions to get P

Tutors

• Importance of training of tutors/convenors

• System must be well explained to students.

• Is sufficient time available in class?

• Consistency across markers

Page 7: Criterion Based Marking and Feedback to Students

Workload

• Time to assess, some say less, some say much more

• Huge increase in emails asking to explain results.

• Moderation a major problem, many being remarked.

• Need to be efficient in Excel – some find less errors, some find more.

• SOL markers approve of system, though SOL would like a reduction of load

Where are we at?

• From an educational point of view the system developed is has many positive features.

• But if retained, it may need some tweaking.• Can we afford it as it is at present, or are there

ways in which the student and staff workload can be reduced without seriously affecting achieving the objectives of the present system?
