KOSMAT Without Tears

Murrell, John

Teaching at a Distance, 5, 64-73, Mar 76

Continuous student assessment in Britain's Open University courses is based on CMAs (computer-marked assignments) and TMAs (tutor-marked assignments). To insure common standards are applied by all tutors, TMAs are monitored by two methods: staff inspection and statistical procedure. Use of the latter for standardizing grading is described fully here. (JT)
