Discussion question · 10 marks
Think of a recent assessment task where you felt the mark scheme was difficult to apply to a student's unconventional but intelligent answer. Describe the situation, explain how you ultimately decided on the mark, and analyze whether your final decision improved the student's understanding of the subject matter or merely satisfied the bureaucratic requirement. How would you now refine your feedback to this student to better reflect their competency development within the CBC framework?
