Marking for structure using Boolean feedback
Abstract
This paper presents evidence that
marking student texts with wellconsidered
checklists is more effective
than marking by hand. An experiment
conducted on first-year students
illustrated that the checklists developed
to mark introductions, conclusions and
paragraphs yielded better revision
results than handwritten comments.
Additional benefits made possible by
the technique make a strong case
for the use of such a technique in the
marking of student texts. The marks
assigned to the student texts also make
a strong case for focusing on these
specific textual features.
