Marker Guidance

The information below includes details of each of the steps that markers must complete when:

Authorising their Turnitin access to view student submissions
Accessing the MedLearn marking dashboard, and
Completing marking and feedback within MedLearn

First and second markers – consolidating marks (if using double blind marking)

In instances where there are two markers, when both you and your second marker have completed your marking their name and marks will become visible to you.

Marks Calculation:

MedLearn will automatically calculate the overall marks based on the weighting of each criterion. If any marking consolidation is needed you can view the marks they have given and adjust yours if you feel appropriate, or else contact them to discuss.

Marker Discrepancy:

Both first and second markers must complete the marks and feedback fully. If the overall mark difference between markers is ≥ 5%, they must discuss and come to an agreement to reduce the difference.
