Marking and feedback process for book chapters

1. Read and review each allocated chapter, based on the:
   1. Chapter guidelines
   2. Marking criteria
   3. Check word count (see length in guidelines) - Suggested tool. Ignore any any words over 4400 (4000 + 10%) for marking purposes (for UG students) or over 4950 words (4500 + 10%) for G students.
   4. Check the page's history. For marking purposes, use the last version prior to submission - but if only minor changes are made after submission, just use the latest version.
2. Add reviewer feedback on the chapter's Wikiversity talk page, using {{MEBF/20145}}. This feedback should include:
   1. Some comments in relation to each marking criterion (theory, research, and written expression); minimum:
      1. at least one main aspect which is done well and
      2. at least one recommendation and/or suggestion for improvement
   2. Style of comments: In written comments:
      1. Avoid referring to you/your - comment instead about the chapter in 3rd person e.g., "the theoretical aspects of the chapter could be improved"
      2. Comment in the future (about improvements that could be made) rather than the criticising the past.
   3. Avoid indicating actual or even approximate grade - comments go on Wikiversity, whereas marks go on Moodle
3. In the marking spreadsheet, allocate a mark for each of the three criterion (theory, research, written expression). A total will be created automatically. No need to add comments - these should be on the Wikiversity talk page.
4. After marking several chapters, seek feedback from the unit convener.
5. If in doubt about anything or wanting a second opinion about a chapter, contact the unit convener.

Optional

Ideally, markers should also:

1. Optional: Edit the chapter page as you go to illustrate or indicate possible improvements e.g., this could involve using clarification templates.
2. Optional: Add a pearl of wisdom to the pearls of wisdom chapter.
3. Optional: Add commonly repeated feedback to general feedback
4. Social contribution marks will be provided separately
