Figure 2. The results of the parallel marking using the guide (y-axis) in relation to the
correction made by the assessment team on the course (x-axis). Filled circles imply
identical grades (U, G or VG) on the exam, while triangles imply that the final grades
differ. The grade U corresponds to not passing, the grade G corresponds to Pass, and
the grade VG corresponds to Pass with distinction.
The experience of marking the exams using the assessment levels in Table
1 indicated that it makes marking more time efficient. Students that do not
show that they fulfil the expected learning outcomes should not pass the
exam. Still, it can happen that they get a score close to the numerical threshold
for passing. This often leads to discussions, which are also time consuming.
We hoped that using the guide would give less scores to students that don’t
pass the exam, and this seemed to be the case (c.f., Figure 2).
