Second Marking at Escape Studios

Second marking at Escape Studios is part of the process by which we ensure that academic standards are being met. Is the marking fair? Is it reasonable? Are the correct criteria being applied?

Looking at your students' work through the eyes of another tutor is a valuable exercise; it is a reminder of how personal marking can be, and how important it is to apply objective criteria.

As tutors, we don't always get the marks right first time - which is why second marking is important.
