It is anticipated that batched returns will be necessary for classes to which multiple departments/schools return marks, eg, some of the EX class codes. This is not a recommended method unless the class fulfils the preceding criterion. There is a danger when performing batched returns, that more than one mark is returned for a student when only one mark or attempt at a class has been completed. |
A batched return is when a separate marks return is sent for each 'batch' (or group) of students from a single class code. This is contrary to the recommended method set out in Managing Returns.
There is a danger when performing batched returns that more than one mark is returned for a student when only one mark or attempt at a class has been completed. Therefore, before beginning a batched return, it is necessary to perform a careful check of the students in each batch to ensure that there is no duplication, ie, a single student does not appear in more than one batch. It is also necessary to perform a check after the marks have been returned by running and Exm Board Schedule and checking that each student has the number of marks expected.
