NOTES TO MARKERS

PREAMBLE
The notes to markers are mrevided d for quality assurance purposes to ensure the following:

(a)
(b)
(c)

()

Fairness, consistency and i eliabili n the standard of marking

Facilitate the moderation of candidates' scripts at the different levels

Streamline the marking SS considering the broad spectrum of markers across

the country a a

Implement appropriate measures in the teaching, learning and assessment of the subject
at schools/institutions of learning

For marking and moderation purposes, the following colours are recommended:

Marker: Red
Senior Marker: Green
Deputy Chief Marker: Orange
Chief Marker: Pink
Internal Moderator: Black/Blue
DBE Moderator: Turquoise

Candidates' responses must be in full sentences for SECTIONS B and C.
However, this would depend on the nature of the question.

A comprehensive marking guideline has been provided but this is by no means
exhaustive. Due consideration should be given to an answer that is correct but:

e Uses a different expression from that which appears in the marking
guideline
Comes from another credible source
Original
A different approach is used

NOTE: There is only ONE correct answer in SECTION A.

Take note of other responses provided by candidates, that are relevant within
the context of a particular question, 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.)

The word 'Submax' is used to facilitate the allocation of marks within a question
or sub-question.

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 and moderation purposes.

Subtotals 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.

In an indirect question, the theory as well as the response must be relevant and
related to the question.

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.

No additional credit must be given for repetition of facts. Indicate with an 'R'.

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 itive and negative)
stance, e.g. Positive: 'The autocratic leader: tyle provides strong

NOTE: 1. The above could apply to ‘analyse’ as well.
2. Note the placing of the tick (/) in the allocation of marks.

The allocation of marks must be informed by the nature of the question, cognitive
verb used, mark allocation in the marking guideline and the context of each ques-
tion.

Cognitive verbs, such as:

12.1 Advise, name, state, outline, motivate, recommend, suggest, (list not ex-
haustive) 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 exhaus-
tive) require a greater depth of understanding, application and reason-
ing. 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.

Mark only the FIRST answer where candidates offer more than one answer for
SECTION B and C questions that require one answer.

The ‘fact’ and ‘explanation’ are given separately in the marking guide-

line 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.

ONE mark may be awarded for answers that are easy to recall, requires
