Peer Marking: why?This course has a mid-term and final exam.Therefore it is important for you to leave the

classroom (after a test) knowing if your answers were right or wrong!If they were right, congratulations! You should

use your time outside of the classroom to study the next unit.

If they were wrong, you should review this unit, so you can do better on the mid-term and final.

Peer Marking: how?First, we do the quiz or test.

Move your desks apart, and put everything on the floor.

Check your desk to make sure there is nothing written on it.

No translators can be used. Cell phones must be off. No talking (if you have a question, raise your hand)

and look only at your own sheet.

Second, I collect the tests.The test isn’t finished, so you still cannot talk! I will give the tests to the people who will mark

them.

Peer Marking: how? (continued)Third, we review/mark the answers.

Only speak if asked to answer a question. For each question, mark it with a checkmark, or

cross-out the incorrect answer and write the correct answer. Use a different colour pen!

Raise your hand if you have a question.

Finally, return the tests to their owners!After you check your answers, I will collect them.

Until I have collected them, you still cannot: Talk to other people, get out your binder or textbook, or

write things down on your desk.

Peer Marking: Problems What if someone has marked your work

incorrectly? Write down “Mr. Whitehead, please check number

_________.”Then check with me about it after class!I will make any corrections necessary.

NOTE: You have a RESPONSIBILITY to mark your fellow students work correctly.If you make a mistake, I will take a mark off your

quiz, so pay attention!

Questions?

No? Then here we go: your first unit quiz!

Good luck!
