For marking and moderation purposes, the following colours are recommended: Marker: Red Senior Marker: Green Cluster and District: Black/Blue 2. Candidates' responses must be in full sentences for SECTIONS B and C. However, this would depend on the nature of the question. 3. Comprehensive marking guidelines have been provided but this is by no means exhaustive. Due consideration should be given to an answer that is correct, but: ● Uses a different expression from that which appears in the marking guidelines ● Comes from another source ● Original ● A different approach is used NOTE: There is only ONE correct answer in SECTION A. 4. Take note of other relevant answers provided by candidates and allocate marks accordingly. (In cases where the answer is unclear or indicates some understanding, part-marks should be awarded, for example, one mark instead of the maximum of two marks.) 5. The word 'Sub-max' is used to facilitate the allocation of marks within a question or sub-question. 6. The purpose of circling marks (guided by 'max' in the breakdown of marks) on the right-hand side is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the marking of scripts as well as for calculation purposes. 7. Subtotals to questions must be written in the right-hand margin. Circle the subtotals as indicated by the allocation of marks. This must be guided by 'max' in the marking guidelines. Only the total for each question should appear in the left-hand margin next to the appropriate question number. 8. In an indirect question, the theory as well as the response must be relevant and related to the question. www.tec-it.com Copyright reserved NW/JUNE/BUSDS/ EMIS/6******* Please turn over ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 3 Business Studies P2 Gr 11 NSC-Memorandum NW/JUNE 2019 9. Incorrect numbering of answers to questions or sub-questions in SECTIONS A and B will be severely penalised. Therefore, correct numbering is strongly recommended in all sections. 10. No additional credit must be given for repetition of facts. Indicate with an 'R'. 11. Note that no marks will be awarded for indicating Yes/No in evaluation type questions requiring substantiation or motivation. (Applicable to SECTIONS B and C) 12. The differentiation between 'evaluate' and 'critically evaluate' can be explained as follows: 12.1 When 'evaluate' is used, candidates are expected to respond in either a positive/negative manner or take a neutral (positive and negative) stance, e.g. Positive:' COIDA eliminates time and costs spent√ on lengthy civil court proceedings.'√ 12.2 When 'critically evaluate' is used, candidates are expected to respond in either a positive/negative manner or take a neutral (positive and negative) stance. In this instance candidates are also expected to support their responses with more depth, e.g. 'COIDA eliminates time and costs spent√ on lengthy civil court proceedings√, because the employer will not be liable for compensation to the employee for injuries sustained during working hours as long as it can be proved that the business was not negligent.'√ NOTE 1 The above could apply to 'analyse' as well. 2 Note the placing of the tick (√) in the allocation of marks. 13. The allocation of marks must be informed by the nature of the question, cognitive verb used, mark allocation in the marking guidelines and the context of each question. Cognitive verbs, such as: 13.1 Advise, name, state, mention, outline, motivate, recommend, suggest, (list not exhaustive) do not usually require much depth in candidates' responses. Therefore, the mark allocation for each statement/answer appears at the end. 13.2 Describe, explain, discuss, elaborate, compare, distinguish, differentiate, justify, devise, analyse, evaluate, critically evaluate (list not exhaustive) require a greater depth of understanding, application and reasoning. Therefore, the marks must be allocated more objectively to ensure that assessing is conducted according to established norms so that uniformity, consistency and fairness are achieved. 14. Mark only the FIRST answer where candidates offer more than one answer for SECTION B and C questions that require one answer. www.tec-it.com Copyright reserved NW/JUNE/BUSDS/ EMIS/6******* Please turn over ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 4 Business Studies P2 Gr 11 NSC-Memorandum NW/JUNE 2019 15. SECTION B 15.1 If, for example, FIVE facts are required, mark the candidate's FIRST FIVE responses and ignore the rest of the responses. Indicate by drawing a line across the unmarked portion or use the word 'Cancel'. NOTE: This applies only to questions where the number of facts is specified. 15.2 If two facts are written in one sentence, award the candidate FULL credit. Point 14.1 above still applies. 15.3 If candidates are required to provide their own examples/views, brainstorm this at the marking centre to finalise alternative answers. 15.4 Use of the cognitive verbs and allocation of marks: 15.4.1 If the number of facts are specified, questions that require candidates to 'describe/discuss/explain' may be marked as follows: ● Fact::2marks (or as indicated in the marking guidelines) ● Explanation:1 mark The 'fact' and 'explanation' are given separately in the marking guidelines to facilitate mark allocation. 15.4.2 If the number of facts required is not specified, the allocation of marks must be informed by the nature of the question and the maximum mark allocated in the marking guidelines. 15.5 ONE mark may be awarded for answers that are easy to recall, requires one word answers or is quoted directly from a scenario/case study. This applies to SECTIONS B and C in particular (where applicable). 16. SECTION C 16.1 The breakdown of the mark allocation for the essays is as follows: Introduction Content Maximum: Conclusion 32 Insight 8 TOTAL 40 16.2 Insight consists of the following components: www.tec-it.com Copyright reserved NW/JUNE/BUSDS/ EMIS/6******* Please turn over ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 5 Business Studies P2 Gr 11 NSC-Memorandum NW/JUNE 2019 Layout/Structure Is there an introduction, a body and a conclusion? 2 Analysis and Is the candidate able to break down the question into 2 interpretation headings/sub-headings/interpret it correctly to show understanding of what is being asked?

CONTENT MARKS Facts 32 (max.) L 2 A 2 S 2 O 2 TOTAL 40 16.7 When awarding marks for facts, take note of the sub-maxima indicated, especially if candidates do not make use of the same subheadings. Remember, headings and subheadings are encouraged and contribute to insight (structuring/logical flow/sequencing) and indicate clarity of thought. (See MARK BREAKDOWN at the end of each question.) 16.8 If the candidate identifies/interprets the question INCORRECTLY, then he/she may still obtain marks for layout. 16.9 If a different approach is used by candidates, ensure that the answers are assessed according to the mark allocation/subheadings as indicated in the marking guidelines. 16.10 16.10.1 Award TWO marks for complete sentences. Award ONE mark for phrases, incomplete sentences and vague answers. 16.10.2 With effect from November 2015, the TWO marks will not necessarily appear at the end of each completed sentence. The ticks(√) will be separated and indicated next to each fact, e.g. 'Product development is a growth strategy√, where businesses aim to introduce new products into existing markets.'√ This will be informed by the nature and context of the question, as well as the cognitive verb used. 16.11 With effect from November 2017, the maximum of TWO (2) marks for facts shown as headings in the marking guidelines, will not necessarily apply to each question.
