Downloaded from hlayiso.com Biology/SG/P2 2 DBE/2013 SCE — Memorandum PRINCIPLES RELATED TO MARKING HG & SG BIOLOGY 2013 This document should be attached fo alf memoranda after the question paper has been written and made available to ALL Life Sciences/Biology teachers. 1. If more information than marks allocated is given Stop marking when maximum marks are reached and put a wavy line and ‘max’ in the right-hand margin. 2. If, for example, three reasons are required and five are given “Mark the first three irrespective of whether all or some are correct/incorrect. 3. If whole process is given when only part of it is required Read all and credit relevant part. 4. tf comparisons are asked for and descriptions are given Accept if differences / similarities are clear. 5. If tabulation is required but paragraphs are given Candidates will lose.marks for not tabulating. 6. If diagrams are given with annotations when descriptions are required Candidates will lose marks. Ue If flow charts are given instead of descriptions Candidates will lose marks. 8. If sequence is muddled and links do not make sense Where sequence and links are correct, credit. Where sequence and links are incorrect, do not credit. If sequence and links becomes correct again, resume credit. 9. Non-recognised abbreviations Accept if first defined in answer. If not defined, do not credit the unrecognised abbreviation but credit the rest of answer if correct. 10. Wrong numbering If answer fits into the correct sequence of questions but the wrong number is given, it is acceptable. 11. If language used changes the intended meaning Do not accept. 12. Spelling errors If recognisable ac cept provided it does not mean something else in Biology or if it Bomiition flames given in terminology Accept provi pted at this memo discussion. 9013 -08- 05 2 < C1140 Copyrig) es: oi eo Please turn over FMDWiese External Moderator Unralusi

If units are not given in measurements Candidates will lose marks. Memorandum will allocate marks for units separately. Be sensitive to the sense of an answer, which may be stated in a different way. Caption All illustrations (diagrams, graphs, tables, etc.) must have a caption. If you have doubts consult the other language memo. If you still have doubts ask the Provincial Internal Moderator to contact the National Internal Moderator or the External Moderator(s). Code-switching of official languages (terms and concepts) A single word or two that appears in any official language other than the learners’ assessment language used to the greatest extent in his/her answers should be credited, if it is correct. A marker that is proficient in the relevant official language should be consulted. This is applicable to all official languages. No changes may be made to the marking memoranda without consulting the Provincial Internal Moderator who in turn will consult with the External Moderator(s). Only memoranda bearing the signatures of the UMALUSI moderators and distributed by the National Department of Education via the Provinces may be used. : Copyright reserved . Please turn over FSM.
