Between you handing in your work and then receiving your feedback and marks, there are a number of quality assurance processes that we go through to ensure that students receive marks which reflects their work. A brief summary is provided below. Process One – The module and marking team meet to agree standards, expectations and how feedback will be provided. Process Two – A subject expert will mark your work using the criteria provided in the assessment brief. Process Three – A moderation meeting takes place where all members of the teaching and marking team will review the marking of others to confirm whether they agree with the mark and feedback. Process Four – Work then goes to an external examiner who will review a sample of work to confirm that the marking between different staff is consistent and fair. Process Five – Your mark and feedback is processed by the Office and made available to you.
