NOTES TO MARKERS

PREAMBLE

The notes to markers are provided for quality assurance purposes to ensure the
following:
(a)   Fairness, consistency and reliability in the standard of marking
(b)   To facilitate the moderation of candidates' scripts at the different levels
(c)   To streamline the marking process considering the broad spectrum of markers
      across the entire province
(d)   To implement appropriate measures in the teaching, learning and assessment of
      the subject at schools/institutions of learning

1.    For marking and moderation purposes, the following colours are recommended:
      Marker:                  Red
      Senior Marker/HOD        Black

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
      •   Is original
      •   Uses a different approach

       NOTE: There is only ONE correct answer to questions 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 words '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/moderation purposes.

7.    Sub-totals to questions must be written in the right-hand margin. Circle the sub-
      totals 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.

9.    Correct numbering of answers to questions or sub-questions is recommended
      in SECTIONS A and B. However, if the numbering is incorrect, follow the
      sequence of the candidate's responses. Candidates will be penalised if the
      latter is not clear.

10.   No additional credit must be given for merely repeating facts. Indicate with an 'R'.

11.   The differentiation between 'evaluate' and 'critically evaluate' can be explained
      as follows:
      11.1      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.'√

      11.2      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.

12.   The allocation of marks must be informed by the nature of the question,
      cognitive verb used, the mark allocation in the marking guidelines and the
      context of each question.

      Cognitive verbs, such as:
      12.1      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.

      12.2      Define, describe, explain, discuss, elaborate, distinguish,
                differentiate, compare, tabulate, 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 assessment is conducted according to
                established norms so that uniformity, consistency and fairness are
                achieved.

13.   Mark only the FIRST answer where candidates offer more than one answer for
      questions in SECTIONS B and C which require one answer.

                                              3

14.    SECTION B

14.1   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.

       NOTE:    1. This applies only to questions where the number of facts is
                   specified.
                2. The above also applies to responses in SECTION C (where
                   applicable).

14.2   If two facts are written in one sentence, award the candidate FULL credit. Point
       14.1 still applies.
14.3   If candidates are required to provide their own examples/views, brainstorm this
       at the marking centre to finalise alternative answers.

14.4   Use of the cognitive verbs and allocation of marks:
       14.4.1   If the number of facts is specified, questions that require candidates
                to 'describe/discuss/explain' may be marked as follows:
                    • Fact          2 marks (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.
       14.4.2   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 guideline.
14.5   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 (where applicable).

15.    SECTION C

15.1   The breakdown of the mark allocation for the essay-type questions is as
       follows:

       Introduction
       Content                     Maximum:
       Conclusion                     32
       Insight                         8
       TOTAL                          40

15.2   Insight consists of the following components:
        Layout/Structure Is there an introduction, paragraph and a conclusion?             2
        Analysis and        Is the candidate able to break down the question into          2

                                          with only relevant facts; no '-S' appears in the
                                          left margin. Award the maximum of TWO (2)
                                          marks for synthesis.

15.3     Indicate insight in the left-hand margin with a symbol e.g., 'L, A, -S and/or O'.

15.4     The breakdown of marks is indicated at the end of the suggested answer/
         marking guideline to each question.

15.5     Mark all relevant facts until the SUB MAX/MAX mark in a subsection has been
         attained. Write 'SUB MAX'/'MAX' after maximum marks have been obtained but
         continue reading for originality 'O'.

15.6     At the end of each essay indicate the allocation of marks for facts and marks for
         insight as follows: (L – Layout, A – Analysis, S – Synthesis, O – Originality) as
         indicated in the table below.

                    CONTENT                         MARKS
                      Facts                          32 (max.)
                        L                             2
                        A                             2
                        S                             2
                        O                             2
                     TOTAL                            40

15.7    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.)

15.8    If the candidate identifies/interprets the question INCORRECTLY, then he/she
        may still obtain marks for layout.

15.9    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.

15.10   15.10.1 Award TWO marks for complete sentences. Award ONE mark for
                phrases, incomplete sentences and vague answers.

        15.10.2 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.

15.11   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. This would also depend on the nature of the question.
