Revision Checklist for 10 Mark Answers

The following is a peer revision checklist that I give to students in order to give better feedback and to see the kinds of things that I am thinking about when I grade their work. Click the Word or pdf icons to download the checklist.

Are there at least two arguments for each side?

Does the essay include theory/terminology from business management? List the examples you see.

What references to the case study do you see?

Do the references go beyond just stating the name of the business?

Are these references used to strengthen arguments, or are they more like simple add-ons?

Does the essay show understanding of further possibilities, implications, nuances, or caveats that arise from information in the case study?

Are the arguments logical and convincing?

Does the essay show good balance - i.e., are there caveats, downsides, or other qualifiers that show understanding of the possible nuances or implications of the issues?

Conclusions

Is there a clear conclusion?

Does it elaborate on what were the most compelling reasons that led to that conclusion?

Do you find the conclusion well supported by the analysis throughout the response?

Room for Improvement

List the arguments that you do not find very well argued, or not very convincing.

List any misuses of terms, theories, or concepts that you see.

What further terms/concepts/ideas from the business management syllabus could they have used?
