A marking record is very similar to a rubric, but it’s simpler.

For each marking criterion, a comment explains what is being sought, and provides a maximum mark that can be awarded. Students can view the marking criteria before they submit so that they know what their learning priorities are in relation to the assignment.

When you come to marking you can view the criteria and add in your comments and grades for each criterion as well as use the ‘frequently added comments’ function. Marking using a marking record is more detailed and less subjective than awarding a single grade.

  • Marking Record should match the assessment criteria available to students for a specific module assignment.

  • Assignment criteria explains what a student needs to demonstrate in order to complete an assessment successfully.

  • Assessment criteria will differ according to the discipline, the type of assessment and the level of students.

Marking record do not have to be completed online, ensure all your markers are able to mark offline.

  • Description for Students: You can provide students with further guidance on how to meet the criterion.
