6 - Sample Size


6.1 The module leader is responsible for ensuring that the sample is representative of the different markers that contributed and different student cohorts that have taken the module.

6.2 The sample must include examples of low, middle and high work within each classification band. Where the cohort is lower than 15 in total, all student work should be included in the sample. This will normally comprise 3 pieces of work from each of the classification bands.

6.3 For large module cohorts which will produce more than 150 pieces of assessed student work, the sample size should normally comprise no more than 25 pieces of work.

6.4 External examiners should have access to all student work on request, though the minimum level of scrutiny should equate to the requirements for sampling provided above.
