marking creative writing stories.. (1 Viewer)

[hermand]

so, i was thinking the other day, and if your creative writing is about a sensitive issue that the marker has experienced, are they allowed to mark it?

eg. you write a story about losing a child and the marker has lost a child, are they able to objectively mark the story?

doubt they'd be able to censor each and every story and marker.. but i suppose if a marker begins to read and realises they can't mark it objectively they'd probably pass it to someone else... at least i hope so

It'd be pretty hard to enforce. Nevertheless, most teachers are professionals, and can maintain some facet of objectivity.

If a marker felt that the couldn't mark a piece of work properly due to personal reasons they would take it to their Senior Marker who would probably become the second marker and then if it was discrepant pass it to another marker.
