Hi Andy,
good point. My philosophy is that we should have nothing to hide
within our examination papers and as such the student should be
able to view them. Indeed I make a point of distributing my marked
papers during a feedback session and I go through each question
and answer with all students irrespective if they have answered that
particular question or not. I give them the opportunity to discuss
my comments on the paper although we do not quibble over marks.
Also, due to University regulations I cannot allow them to take the
exam paper away with them.
Having this type of group feedback (I also offer them individual if
they require it, but most find the group session sufficient) allows
others to hear how students have approached the same topic area
and as such is a useful learning tool for them especially when they
discover that certain approaches to a question may illicit higher
marks.
Regards
David

Hi,
would value any comments members may re. discussing examination performance with students. Specifically, what happens when a student asks the marker to take her through the marked paper? Obviously there are several issues here, but in terms of providing the student will full and formative
feedback, can one refuse?
