Hi Bridget, Maria, John and Karen,

I hope everything is going well.

The number of students you will mark are:

Bridget:    30

Maria:    110

John:        30

Karen:     30

These are our overall targets (in terms of timeliness):

Day -2 (11am Sat)                        2.5%

Day -1 (11am Sun)                         5%

Day 0 (11am Mon Wk9)            15%

Day 1 (11am Tues)                      35%

Day 2 (11am Wed)                      65%

Day 3 (11am Thurs)                   90%

Day 4 (11am Fri)                       100%

Please mark these students:

John: Brisbane, Perth, Gladstone

Karen: Cairns, Townsville, Bundaberg and Online (Laine FLETCHER – Hope LAURITSEN )

Bridget: Online (Amber ANASTASI – Emma FINGER)

Maria: Rockhampton, Mackay, and Online (Courtney LEEDER – Luke WRIGHT)

Martin: Melbourne, Sydney and Online (remaining)

Our plan is that, if we wish, we can take a ‘shift’ at marking the early submitted assignments from all students for a period of a few hours during Days -3, -2 and -1.

This does not mean you need to mark flat out during these ‘shifts’. It simply means that you should check Moodle regularly and mark any students that need marking during this ‘shift’. There may only be a few students to mark – and if you are not able to mark all the students that submit during your ‘shift’, that is also fine. They can just be passed on to the person marking the next ‘shift’.

And please make a note how many students you marked during your ‘shift’ and send it to me. This can form part of your ‘tally’ of students you are to mark.

The idea is that we keep on top of those who early submit and mark them relatively promptly.

Please let me know if you would like to take any ‘shifts’.

The ‘shifts’ are:

Friday (Day -3): 2-5pm

Friday (Day -3): 6-9pm+

Saturday (Day -2): 9am – 12noon

Saturday (Day -2): 2.00pm -5.00pm

Saturday (Day -2): 6-9pm+

Sunday (day -1): 9am – 12noon

Sunday (Day -1): 2.00pm – 5.00pm

From Sunday 6.00pm, we can start marking our own students.

I will moderate the first 5 students you mark. Please forward these marked assignments to me one-by-one as you mark them. I prefer to receive them this way.

In addition, please send me any students you give a mark of 10/21 or less; or a mark of 18/21 or more.

Late penalties: There are no late penalties for ASS#2 Steps 3&4.

I look forward to working with you as we together support our students’ learning by giving them quality, timely feedback.

Regards

Martin
