Cumulative Marking

Cumulative Marking

Adding up the number of labels that were correct for a criteria and dividing the mark by the total number of labels determine cumulative marks.

For example: if a mark of 4 were assigned in an exercise which had three labels (three medications on the script) and two out of three of the labels were correct, a mark of 2.4 would be awarded for that criteria. When entering a mark, this amount is automatically calculated and displayed next to the criteria.

There are four cumulative criteria in the Australian version. The US version has three criteria, as script type marking is not used. All cumulative criteria are auto-marked.

Each criteria can be disabled by unchecking the enable checkbox next to its name. Doing so will hide the mark field and additional options and the criteria will not be displayed in the assessment-marking interface. Disabling all of the cumulative criteria is possible.

Marking penalties for getting the criteria incorrect can also be applied. To apply a penalty, enter a penalty value in the “No-attempt penalty” field. Penalties are entered as positive numbers which will be subtracted.
