McQuade, Richard; Kometa, Simon; Brown, Jeremy; Bevitt, Debra; Hall, Judith – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2020
Research project modules are a key part of UK undergraduate and postgraduate bioscience degree programmes. Report marking invariably uses two assessors, but marking models are mixed with some institutions using two independent markers and others using the project supervisor as one of the assessors. This latter model is controversial with critics…
