UWA week 45 (2nd semester, 2nd exam week) ↓

final exam Exam question 1 total marks (all 7)

3:37pm Fri 8th Nov, Arran S.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. However, assigning 4 free marks to every student is not possible, as marks must be awarded based on completed work. If 4 marks were assigned regardless of what a student submitted, it would mean a student could potentially receive credit without attempting the question at all (or indeed, any question), which would not align with University assessment policies.

While I understand concerns about not having written enough, marks are awarded based on how well a response addresses the question, not on length. As long as your answer is relevant and meets the question requirements, you should be able to earn full marks, even if it is brief.

I appreciate students' feedback on this issue, but I consider the matter closed for now. If you have further concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly via email.

Regards,

Arran
