► Anonymous Marking

ANONYMOUS MARKING POLICY
The Union Notes
•   That currently the University provides a variety of assessment methods it considers appropriate for its students and the needs of their courses;
•   Only the unseen exams during the main end of year assessment period are anonymised;
•   That other forms of assessment are potentially difficult to anonymise;
•   An NUS Report published that 39% of LGBT students feel their work has been marked unfairly because of their sexuality or gender. 12% of Black students believe they have received a lower mark on their course than their white counterparts because of their race.
•   The NUS has run a ‘Mark my work, not my Name’ Campaign for several years which has been supported by DSU officers.
This Union Believes
•   That the union should fight against all form on discriminations (whether based on gender, sexuality, age or ethnic groups);
•   That there are a variety of means to assess work anonymously that suit the variety of assessments currently used within the university;
•   That anonymous marking can reduce suspicion toward examiners and minimises potential conflict, safeguarding both staff and students.
This Union instructs
•   That the Executive, led by the DP Education, should run an anonymous marking campaign to create awareness amongst the student body;
•   That the Executive, led by the DP Education should continue to lobby the University and individual faculties to increase the provision for anonymous marking;
•   That the DP Education to present this motion to Academic Board.
