Sally,
This is exactly the sort of question that I would like clarification
from Phil Boyd, if you can persuade him to join this list.
Should we advise our academic colleagues to record all their marking
on a separate sheet, so that it is available for a subject access request,
or just allow students right to their examination scripts?
