Second marking at Escape Studios is part of the process by which we ensure that academic standards<\/a> are being met. Is the marking<\/a> fair? Is it reasonable? Are the correct criteria<\/a> being applied?<\/p>\n

Looking at your students’ work through the eyes of another tutor is a valuable exercise; it is a reminder of how personal marking can be, and how important it is to apply objective criteria.<\/p>\n

As tutors<\/a>, we don’t always get the marks right first time – which is why second marking is important.<\/p>\n

How Second Marking Works<\/b>
Our second marking rules are governed by our degree-awarding body, Coventry University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Five Stages<\/b>
At both post-graduate (MA) and undergraduate level (BA), there are five stages to the\u00a0marking<\/a>\u00a0process:
1. First\u00a0marking<\/a>\u00a0of all work
2. Second marking of a sample of work by an experienced internal examiner (tutor)
3. Moderation between First and Second Marker
4. Review by External Examiner<\/a>
5. Checking\u00a0marks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second Marking Samples<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The sample for second\u00a0marking<\/a>\u00a0in each module must include:
\na. All fails
\nb. A representative sample across all classification bands (ie 1st, 2:2, 2:2, 3rd)
\nc. Marks just below a classification band i.e. 49, 59, 69.
\nd. The highest scoring work
\ne. At least 10% of the students taking the module
\nf. At least 6 students.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

How Marks are Agreed<\/b>
Second\u00a0marking<\/a>\u00a0is intended as a second opportunity to mark student work
\nafresh; it is not merely a means to check the first marker\u2019s
\nwork. Therefore, second marks are unlikely to be
\n identical to the first marks. If the discrepancy between first and
\nsecond marks for the module is within a tolerance of 5 percentage
\npoints, then the first marker\u2019s proposed marks go forward as the agreed
\nmarks.<\/p>\n

Five Point Tolerance<\/b>
If the second marks are outside the 5 point tolerance, then first and second marker meet to moderate the marks, and complete the Assessment Moderation Form to record the second marks, give reasons, and agreed a moderated mark.<\/p>\n

If it appears that mark adjustments are required, following the moderation meeting, then consideration should be given to opening up a larger sample, or re-marking the entire cohort, depending on the nature of the discrepancy.<\/p>\n

After 2nd Marking and Moderation<\/b>
Following second marking and moderation, the first marker completes the mark sheet to show the agreed marks; this is then submitted to Student Services.<\/p>\n

Submission to External Examiner <\/b>
Finally, a sample of student work is forwarded to the\u00a0External Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nWhat this means is that the grades awarded for student work gets checked twice before the marks are final. As a result, all our students at Escape Studios can be confident that the marks awarded are fair, reasonable, and accurate.<\/p>\n
