Assessment Handbook 20112012-1213: 5. Marks and MarkingB: Open double marking5.16 Assessment of the work by two markers, where the second marker is able to see thecomments and marks made by the first marker.C: Mark checking5.17 In disciplines that have a detailed marking scheme that allows little or no discretion tothe examiner, the second examiner checks that all sections of the piece of work havebeen marked, and that the marks have been correctly totalled.D: Moderation5.18 Note: The requirements below constitute a minimum level of moderation that must becarried out, where moderation is used. In addition, where specifically agreed by aSubject Examination Board (SEB), moderators may complete tasks such as (forexample) reviewing all borderline marks (this cannot be limited to those in thesample), where clear criteria are approved by an SEB for the purpose.5.19 Where moderation is employed, a defined minimum percentage of the students’assessments (within the 50 percent element of assessment rule) are reviewed by asecond individual, the moderator. The full spread of marks for all students in thecohort shall normally be made available to the moderator.5.20 The moderator does not have the power to change individual marks when reviewinga sample, as this would be unfair to the students not included in the sample. Instead,the moderator may:i. approve the marking for the assessment, for all students;ii. approve the quality of the marking, but deem it either too lenient or too stringentacross the cohort in the marks awarded, recommending that marks for the entirecohort be either raised or lowered by an appropriate percentage (not a specifiednumber of marks)amount;iii. approve the quality of the marking for part of the cohort, but deem that the full rangeof marks has not been used effectively, recommending that marks falling withincertain affected range(s) be either raised or lowered by an appropriate amount;iv. reject the marking as unsound, requiring second marking of the full set ofassessments by an experienced and independent marker with appropriate subjectknowledge.5.21 The decision of the moderator is finalmoderated marks shall be presented to theSubject Examination Board, and shall always include explanations for any rescalingor other processes that are applied. Where marks are scaled, this may be either by apercentage or by a set number of marks, depending on the case under consideration;the reasoning behind the choice shall be included in the details presented to theSubject Examination Board and the external examiners.5.22 Moderation outcomes may be applied by question or by paper. Where differentquestions in a paper are marked by different individuals, it may be that only onequestion requires scaling or remarking. In that situation, all answers to the affectedquestion shall be considered for scaledscaling/a remarked. Where an entire paper ismarked by a single marker, it shall normally be the total mark for the paper that isshall be considered for scaledscaling/a remarked (for the full cohort), unless there isa clear reason for targeting an individual question.21
