Hi Mike ,
For written question can you write your answer on a point by point basis rather than a paragraph basis?
Is there any advantages or disadvantages ??
How much should we write for one mark in a written answer???
Regards
Sid
Bullet point answers do not sit well with either examiners or markers.
Your answer should be in proper sentences
How much to write for one mark?
Follow these instructions now!
1 – get a sheet of paper, a pen, a stopwatch / timer and a book (any book) in front of you and don’t read point number 2 until you have these four items
2 – you cheated! Now go and get the sheet of paper, the pen, the timer and a book and don’t read the next point until you have those four items
3 – open the book – anywhere.
4 – set the timer for 1 minute 18 seconds
5 – copy (copy, don’t read, just copy) from the book for 1 minute 18 seconds
6 – stop
How much should you write for one mark? That’s how much you should be writing MAXIMUM for a paragraph / for a mark
Ok?
Funny… 🙂
Thanks Mike
That was not intended to be funny! It was all very serious!
I got the serious part..
Funny how you read my mind…

Many years of practice!
