Grade distribution
| Summary | Policy Statement and Source |
|---|---|
Fail grades should be double-marked. | All major assessment tasks, including scheduled final assessments, with a fail grade must be double-marked by the teaching faculty before the result is finalised. See 4.1 of Marking and Feedback Procedure |
| Educators are not required to remark assessments because students disagree with the mark or feedback received. | Students can request a correction of their assessment mark due to an error, e.g. if an incorrect late penalty has been applied or due to a miscalculation. A student cannot request a correction of their mark on the basis that they do not agree with the mark, or that they perceive the feedback received to be inadequate. See 5.2 of Marking and Feedback Procedure |
No scaling marks to achieve an ideal grade distribution. This includes applying a cap for a particular grade (i.e. no limit for HDs or Ds). | Scaling of marks to achieve an ideal grade distribution is not permitted and is inconsistent with the criterion-referenced assessment approach of Monash University.
