Global assessment of essays
The essays will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach tequires the
educator to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the component parts
separately. This approach encourages the learner to offer an individual opinion
through using selected factual evidence to support an argument .The learner will not
be required to simply regurgitate 'facts' in order to achieve a high mark. It will also
discourage learners to prepare 'model' answers and reproduce them without taking
into account the specific requirements of the question. Holistic essay marking credits
learners' opinions. Holistic assessment, unlike content based marking, does not
penalise language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:
« the discussion/expianation;
e the appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument.
Assessment procedures of an essay
1. Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.
2. During the first reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant
introduction (indicated by a bullet in marking guideline/memorandum) each of
the main points/aspects that is properly contextualised (also indicated by
bullets in marking guideline/memorandum) a relevant conclusion (indicated by
a bullet in marking guideline/memorandum) e.g. in an answer where there are
5 main points there will be 7 ticks.
3. The following additional symbols can also be used:
e introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised
® wrong statement
¢ irrelevant statement |
e repetition R
* analysis AV
interpretation 4V
4. The first reading of an essay will also be to determine to what extent the main
aspects have been covered and to allocate the content level (on the matrix).
