Marker Consistency Checker

This tool helps academic staff analyze and ensure consistency between multiple markers for the same assignments.

Tips for Using This Tool

The consistency checker helps you identify if there are significant differences between markers and flags potential issues.

  • Enter each student's ID, mark, and the marker ID in the table (or paste directly from Excel)
  • Click "Analyze Markers" to generate statistics
  • The tool will automatically calculate:
    • Overall mark distribution statistics
    • Per-marker statistics (mean, median, standard deviation)
    • Identify harsh/generous markers compared to peers
    • Flag students with high mark variance for review
  • Print the report for record keeping or moderation meetings

About Marker Consistency

Ensuring markers apply assessment criteria consistently is crucial for fair assessment. This tool helps identify:

  • Whether certain markers are consistently harsher or more generous than others
  • Students whose marks show significant variance between markers (potential cases for moderation)
  • Overall patterns in marking consistency across the cohort

By identifying these patterns early, you can address inconsistencies before finalizing grades and ensure fair treatment of all students.
