[Informatics] Looking for a VCE trial exam marker

Tue May 14 09:11:44 UTC 2019

Hi all,

A really interesting debate and I agree wholeheartedly with the consensus regarding the diagnostic value, but I have personal reasons why I will not be able to mark this exam in the time allowed.

I am also keen to get an independent assessment, in addition to the other practice exams I will have marked in the lead up to this one.

Regards,

Ben

I agree. Remember the exam is worth 50%. If you don’t know your individual student’s strengths and weaknesses intimately you may have trouble addressing this during exam prep.

Hi All

I don’t think it’s about unbiased marking, if that’s the case then moderate with someone from another school. You genuinely will not know where your students are at, what they need to improve on but also what you as the teacher need to recap over.
Marking exams is a tedious process but you learn so much from that process.

I think it is about unbias marking, because that is what it will be. The markers do not know the students.
With the results returning, then analysis can happen as to why.

I totally agree, why would you let someone else mark your students’ trial essays before their CAT. How will you know how to gear your approach to individual learning and be able to give feedback?

I've seen requests for exam marking assistance before. I've even taken such a job in the past.

But...

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I found that marking my kids' practice exams was one of the most significant diagnostic tools available to me to understand my kids' needs and strengths to improve their learning.

It's sort of like the difference between breastfeeding and employing a wet nurse.
Sometimes, for good reasons, you have no choice but to do it, but it's such a valuable experience to do it yourself.
Even if it hurts.

After marking a batch of practice exams from another teacher's class, I had a really good idea of which kids were on the right track and why, and who weren't and why. The class clown and the budding genius became very clear in just one exam.
I got to know each one of them so well in just 100 marks.

I wouldn't want to have outsourced that sort of potential insight into the kids I was teaching.
I'm not criticising the outsourcing of exam marking, but...

😕
