Many candidates complain because they want to improve the process.

Yeah, but when given the opportunity to assist in improving the process, the complainers dropped the ball, wouldn't you say?

It certainly appears that way. Perhaps they felt their time was better spent elsewhere?

Thanks...I know a golden opportunity when I see one. Thank you for providing it!

I'm a firm believer in the power (or lack thereof) of complaint, so I'm inclined to agree.

However,

I hadn't even known this thread existed until one of our Fellows pointed it out to me.

I think if we placed a sticky thread in the exam 9 forum, trumpeting "Get your detailed exam 9* rubrics here! (*2008 sitting)", I think we'd receive a much more energetic response.

Another vote for #24...can't see why 1/4 pt was deducted on 1 paper vs. full credit on the other.

The only difference in 1636's paper compared to the other is he/she did not populate the mod calculation with actual numbers.

In the another post about exam 6 grading from 2008, Arlie has posted that we do need to list a sample calculation for each different type of calc.

1/4 deduction on a 4.5 pt paper, I guess, would be appropriate.

In my opinion, that's complete BS! He has the ingredients clearly labeled on the paper and clearly shows how he got to each of those components. How could anyone not see that he knew exactly what to do and therefore arrived at the correct answer?

I realize this is only 1/4 of a point but the principle of it really p!sses me off. This guy shows his work, gets the correct answer but (supposedly) b/c he didn't explicitly show the numbers all together in his formula, he doesn't qualify for knowing how to answer the problem!?! I thought the idea was to test a candidate's knowledge and not their ability at making things pretty!



Arlie, could you please chime in here to add some clarity?

[actually ..?]

Hi,

I'm not sure if the rubrick has been posted somewhere.

If so, could someone please post a link to it?

Thanks

Also, thanks earl for taking the time to diligently vote for your questions.
- All the best for your exam sitting!
