Session Overview

What do we need to record in a Marking Guide and Why? This 90-minute session provides quality content that will unpack the importance of marking guides and the critical components they need to include.

Marking guides, by whatever name, are a critical component of an assessment tool. They are a major vehicle through which the reliability of assessment judgements is controlled. This session will look at various names applied to marking guides, explore their importance for meeting the reliability principle of assessment and look briefly at marking guide formatting. It will consider the difference between “satisfactory” and “competent” judgements and will discuss where these apply. This session will use a number of examples drawn from actual marking guides.
