Discussion question · 10 marks

Reflect on a recent assessment you conducted in your classroom. Identify one specific question where your internal judgment of the student's performance differed from the strict requirements of the official Cambridge mark scheme. How did you reconcile this difference, and what does this process reveal about the necessity of departmental moderation in ensuring high-quality, reliable assessment practice?
