It is now official at Marking Centres. Two Supplementary texts for the belonging essay will not be penalised, it will be marked normally. Thoughts?

It said ONE related text. If you used two, you should only be marked for the first one you used, and - therefore - your essay is shortened.

so ppl who followed instructions are disadvantaged cause they had less to write about. great.

Behind closed doors anything can happen. They dont penalise you, of course they dont. But according to my teacher, who has marked HSC papers, and done this before, they cross out your weakest/shortest aditional and reread essay without it.

My teacher is a marker. They were briefed yesterday and told that 2 supplementary texts will be marked normally, with no penalities. Each of the supp texts will be considered.

There are no words to adequately describe my rage at this statement.

Not happy haha.

tizona · 30 Oct 2009, 11:36 PM

but wouldn't it be more fair to just read the first one and not be penalised for an additional one?
that way the people who wrote one will not be disadvantaged either

AndreRieu · 30 Oct 2009, 11:36 PM

i think it is making an ironic statement about english

chaldoking · 30 Oct 2009, 11:37 PM

They were told that - it will be read like a normal response, the deconstruction of both supp texts will have equal consideration, and will have an impact on the final mark. So in essence, take it as though the question has been changed to "at least ONE..." rather than "ONE". It sucks.

Retarded people getting rewarded for being retards. This is the HSC, not special ed FFS. This is gay.
