Markers should:  Familiarise themselves with the question and answer before evaluating the responses of candidates.  Always interpret the responses of the candidates within the context of the question.  Consider any relevant and acceptable answer during pre-marking but should strictly adhere to the answers after finalisation of the marking guideline.  There are TWO approaches to answering questions; these are (1) to describe and (2) to explain. o If a candidate is required to explain, e.g. a process in 4 steps, only the first 4 responses should be considered. o However, if for example a candidate is required to explain or describe how to transfer heights from one point to another using a transparent pipe level we need to consider that candidates may write a long description, not necessarily well organised, as an intellectual response may do. In this case the marker needs to evaluate the complete statement to judge if the candidate explained the required outcome satisfactorily and allocate marks on merit. The marker should apply his/her professional judgement with these types of questions.  Mark what the candidate wrote and do not award marks for answers that the marker thinks the candidate meant with what was written.  Indicate the tick or cross right at the position where the mark needs to be awarded or where the candidate made the error.  Accept the letter corresponding with the correct answer as well as the answer written in full in multiple-choice questions.  Accept incorrect spelling in one-word answers unless the spelling changes the meaning of the answer. 2. For calculations:  A mark is only awarded if the correct unit is written next to the answer.  If TWO marks are awarded ONE mark is awarded for the answer and ONE mark for the correct unit.  Where the candidate made a principal error, e.g. added instead of multiplying, no marks will be awarded for the steps. If the answer is correct according to what the candidate did, the mark for the answer can be awarded for the application of skills.

However, should the incorrect answer be carried over correctly, the marker has to recalculate the values, using the incorrect answer from the first calculation. If correctly used, the candidate should receive the full marks for subsequent calculations.  Markers should consider when and where a candidate has rounded off in a calculation, as well as the subsequent effect it has on the final answer obtained. The calculation should therefore be awarded marks on merit.  Alternative methods of calculations must be considered, provided that the correct answer is obtained. 3. When marking drawings:  The member for which the mark should be awarded should be drawn correctly in the correct position to receive a mark.  A member incorrectly drawn but wrongfully repeated in another position will be awarded the mark for the repeated incorrect member provided that the marking guideline provide for TWO or more marks for that member (positive marking).  Marks can only be awarded for a label if the label is correctly indicating the correct member.  Scale drawings should always be marked using an appropriate mask. When a candidate drew the wrong drawing, e.g.:  A horizontal section instead of a vertical section, no marks will be allocated to the drawing as the candidate did not respond to the expected outcome.  An orthographic view instead of sectional view, no marks will be allocated to the drawing as the candidate did not respond to the expected outcome.  An orthographic view instead of an isometric view, no marks will be allocated to the drawing as the candidate did not respond to the expected outcome.  If the incorrect drawing was drawn, the candidate can be awarded for only what was asked but mark/s for the correctness of the drawing will not be awarded e.g., if a King Post roof truss was asked in the question, and candidate drew SA-Howe Truss Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 4 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Civil Technology: Construction 4 DBE/2022 SC/NSC – Marking guidelines QUESTION 1: OHSA, MATERIALS, TOOLS, EQUIPMENT AND JOINING (GENERIC) 1.1 1.1.1 Thermo plastic/Thermo plastic powder coating  (1) 1.1.2 Electroplating  (1) 1.1.3 Curing  (1) 1.1.4 Paint/Varnish  (1) 1.1.5 Galvanising  (1) 1.2 1.2.1 Non-skid material should be fitted to:  Prevent ladders from moving when workers are using them   Ensure stability of the ladder when in use ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE (1) 1.2.2 Wooden ladders are better:  To prevent electrical shock   Because it is a poor conductor of electricity ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE (1) 1.2.3 Aluminium ladder is:  Lighter   More durable  Easier to handle  Easy to clean  Stronger  Suitable to extend to higher hights ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE (1) 1.2.4 Wooden ladders can be treated with:  Linseed Oil/Oil   Clear varnish/Varnish   Wood preservative/Preservative ANY TWO OF THE ABOVE (2) 1.3 The scaffold platform:  Must have guard rails   Must have toe boards   Should have sufficient room between the structure and the platform for the worker to sit and work  Must be free of any obstruction/waste/projecting nails/equipment that can cause injury  Must be non-slip  Should not be filled with unnecessary equipment/Overloaded ANY TWO OF THE ABOVE (2) Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Civil Technology: Construction 5 DBE/2022 SC/NSC – Marking guidelines 1.4 A safety net can be erected:  Above an entrance   At passageways   At areas where persons work while work is being performed above them  To prevent falling objects from injuring workers ANY TWO OF THE ABOVE (2) 1.5 1.5.1 Rawlbolt/Expansion bolt/Anchor bolt  (1) 1.5.2  Drill hole   Remove debris/Clean the hole   Remove the bolt and washer/insert the shield  (3) 1.6 Dumpy level determines:  Levels and heights   Differences between levels and vertical heights  Levels and slopes  Distances ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE (1) Protect the dumpy level by:  Placing the telescope in its case directly after use   Not bumping the instrument against objects  Not dropping the instrument  Performing the collimation test regularly to ensure accuracy  Keeping it dry ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE (1) [20] Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 6 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Civil Technology: Construction 6 DBE/2022 SC/NSC – Marking guidelines QUESTION 2: GRAPHICS AS MEANS OF COMMUNICATION (GENERIC) ANSWER SHEET 2 NO.
