4.Student Grade Achievement Verification (eg. cross-check of grade validity by independent
evaluator).
Method(s) of Verification Conclusion Exams are marked electronically
and a random sample of the
students answer sheets is remarking
manually by all instructors.
There are no difference between the marking machine output and the
manually remarked sample.
