Checklist

Mark Lists

5 (A) The starred marker should pass an alphabetical list of final marks to Jill to be entered on the database. The list should contain: surnames and (at least) initials; student numbers. The blank alphabetical candidates list enclosed in the script packet is a suitable list on which to write marks. It is important that a mark or an absence (abs - lower case) is reported for every candidate on the candidates list.

Jill will pass back to you a printout of the marks for your module. You should check that all the marks (including "abs") have been correctly entered. If corrections are necessary you should annotate Jill's list and return it to her. She will make the corrections and print out a new list for you. When you have a correct list please: enter the scaling details and rationale in the boxes provided; initial the list to certify that it is correct; take a copy of this list for the script packet; and return the list to Jill who will file it. Please do not ask Jill to make further changes to your marks. If amendments become necessary, take them to Graeme.

(B) A mark breakdown, student by student, will be required for all modules.

For each module (and for each Semester if a module is examined twice) mark lists should be prepared that:

• list all candidates on the official University list in alphabetical order
• contain raw and scaled marks for each form of assessment for each candidate
• final return mark.

The lists may be hand-written, typed or computer-generated.

For Stage 0 and 1 modules it is sufficient to give just the scaled ICA marks, although details of scaling must be recorded.

Where feasible a list in descending mark order with the same details would be useful.

For courses covering two Semesters, the starred examiner for the second Semester is responsible for ensuring that the list of marks includes the marks for each Semester as well as the overall marks. I should stress that the database will not calculate the average of Semester 1 and Semester 2 marks - this will be up to the starred examiner; please note the rules for averaging, given in Section C2. The standard courses covering two Semesters (with two exams) are: MAS003, MAS102, MAS111, MAS121, MAS131, MAS211, MAS221, MAS231. Please consult me or Graeme if you would like a Semester 1 mark list in Excel format.

Please make life easy for Jill, do give her a list of names with one mark for each name, do not give her a riddle to solve. Please do not deposit a script packet on Jill's desk and expect her to guess that you have left a mark list for her somewhere in the packet, just leave the mark list on her desk.
