I've just marked a set of first year exam scripts

A partner this to the last post.

I've marked a set of exam papers for my own first year class at Strathclyde University. A few comments in addition to the points I made last time.

Apply what you know - concepts, terms/definitions, systems, alternatives/strategies.

Can you think of a process/model/diagram that is relevant to the question? Think carefully - would it be worth taking the time to draw a positioning map or a model/process like consumer buyer behaviour?

If you are going to use an exhibit like a model or chart or diagram then try to not to focus too much on the aesthetics of it. Don't waste time devising a colour scheme - the important thing is to make it large [minimum 1/2 a page] and clear. The labels for boxes/axes/stages are more significant wrt getting marks than graphic design.

In this set of scripts, examples weren't used well or often. Don't make the same mistake.
