Having spent much of the past week marking exam papers, my colleagues and I have developed a new marking scheme that both extends the range of marks and feedback available, and is couched in a user-friendly language and is largely relative to the individual students potential, thus doing away with set boundaries. The new scheme is as follows:
"Awesome" Spectacularly good - so good you suspect they have seen the paper in advance
"Sweet" anything similar or greater than the mark that particular student expected or was expected to get
"OK" roughly what they expected or you expected or a little lower
"WTF?" answer incomprehensible or student directly contradicts themselves in the same sentence.
"Epic" as in epic failure i.e. didn't turn up to anything or turned up to everything and still managed to score less than 10%
We decided that "OMG" was too ambiguous to use.
I am looking forward to explaining this at our next examiners meeting.
