Global assessment of essays
The essays will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires 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 construction of argument;
e the appropriate selection of factual evidence to support such argument; and
o) the learner's interpretation of the question.
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:
introduction, main aspects and conclusion not Properly contextualised

The criteria according to which the essay will be assessed are organised within a matrix
and the matrix will be used to allocate a symbol to an essay. Both the content and
Presentation axes are divided into eight competency levels, each with criteria that will be
used to assess an essay.

democracy; political leaders such as Nkrumah of Ghana, Kenyatta of Kenya and
Houphouet-Boigny of Cote’ d'ivoire were critical of colonial rule, etc.), Middle class
Africans eager to bring about political change.
EXTERNAL FACTORS

large sums of money required to develop African colonies when faced with post-war
reconstruction at home
