Discussion question · 10 marks
Reflect on a recent assessment you conducted in your classroom. Using the official IB Physics mark scheme, identify one area where your marking was potentially subjective and explain how a formal moderation sprint with your colleagues could have calibrated your judgment to be more consistent with the IBO standards. Provide a concrete example of how you would adapt your teaching of uncertainty analysis based on the latest examiner report to prevent your students from falling into common traps.
