I’ve just had to justify the exam grades I’ve given to each and every student in my exam classes to my head of department since obviously there will be no exams this year. It’s been really tough to try and not let personal bias get in the way.
I am not sure I like this system since the grades us teachers have given them will be sent off to exam boards to be moderated and then they can make changes to them without us knowing. We won’t then know if any have been changed until the students get their results. Which means I won’t be able to argue the case of changes that could happen I might disagree with since I won’t know. Which seems really unfair, since if I knew I could provide supporting evidence for the grade I think they deserve. But I understand that they’ve had to put this all together rather quickly and they are doing the best they can given the current situation.
