<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Assessment of Teacher's Examples</B></P>

<P>After the teacher has submitted the examples it is useful from the
teacher's point of view to assess these examples, if only partially.
These assessments are private to the teacher, they are NOT shown
to the students at any stage during the assignment. They are,
however, useful when the teacher looks at the student assessments
of the examples. When grading a student assessment, the teacher
sees their own assessment at the top of the page and the
student's assessment of the same piece of work at the bottom of
the page. The &quot;extra&quot; assessment acts as a reference
source and a reminder of the salient points held in the example.

<P>After the teacher has submitted the examples it is important that the
teacher assess these examples.</p>

<p>These assessments are private to the teacher, they are NOT shown
to the students at any stage during the assignment. However, they are,
used internally as reference assessments against which the student assessments
are compared. The closer a student's assessment matches the teacher assessment
the higher is their &quot;Grading grade&quot;. The teacher has a degree of
control on how the agreement is translated into grades. This the
&quot;Comparison of Assessments&quot; option in the workshop. This option
can be changed at any time and the comparisons re-calculated.</P>

sets of criteria. Each set covering a particular &quot;Category&quot;, can have
up to five statements. The sets are given individual
weights and the grade is a weighted combination of the scores from each set. There
is <b>no</b> adjustment option in this assessment type.

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Grading of Student Submissions</B></P>

<P>In general the teacher will want to assess the work submitted by the
students. The assessments are shown to the students and should provide
feedback on their work.</P>
<P>The grades from these assessments can be used
in two ways in the final grade calculation. Firstly, the grade itself can be
used as a (weighted) component in the final grade. Secondly, these
grades can optionally be added into the pool of peer assessments and
used as a &quot;calming factor&quot; if it felt that the student
assessments are too high or too low.
<P>In general, it is recommended that the teacher assesses a fair proportion of
the work submitted by the students. The assessments are shown to the
students and will provide important feedback on their work.</P>

<P>The assessments from the teacher are used in two ways in the workshop
module. Firstly, they are used in the calculations to determine
the &quot;grading grades&quot;, the grades given the student assessments.
Secondly they are used in the calculation of the submission grades. These
assessments can be given extra weight (the &quot;Weight of Teacher
Assessments&quot; option), this weighting effects both the grading grade
and the submission grade calculations. If it felt that the student
assessments are too high (or too low), increasing this weighting factor
should be considered as that will help stablise the grades to a degree.
