Colleagues, I know we've discussed anonymous marking in exams before and that practices vary. I'd be interested however to hear from any universities which use anonymity for other (all??) types of assessment. Feel free to reply to me directly, but four questions: 1. Does your university have a formal policy (university-wide) on anonymity in examinations? 2. If yes, does your university also extend such a policy to other forms of assessment (eg essays, dissertations, project work)? 3. With or without a formal policy on such anonymity, would those who have ANY amount of anonymous marking for methods of assessment other than exam please give a brief description (eg, covering sheets, use of student numbers etc). 4. At what stage in the marking or exam board process is anonymity removed? Many thanks, in advance Iestyn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Iestyn G Henson Quality Officer University of Wales Swansea Singleton Park Tel: 01792 295875 SWANSEA Fax: 01792 295157 SA2 8PP Email: [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
