The back end of a grading system

Abstract

The phases of a grading system are discussed, namely: delivery, assessment, marking, review, and return. A system which addresses the back end, namely, the last three phases, is described. Late binding of marks to a graded project is used, simplifying the revision process. The use of the system by various courses and its benefits are discussed.

An Infrastructure for Mechanised Grading

“…To design mechanised graders is a hot topic as illustrated by the numerous papers presented these last years like Quiver (Ellsworth et al, 2004), Robo-Prof (Daly and Waldron, 2004), TorqueMOODa (Hill et al, 2005), gradem (Noonan, 2006), APOGEE (Fu et al, 2008). An overview of this topic may be found in (Douce et al, 2005a).…”
