Coursework?

Question

how long after a coursework deadline does it take to be sent off for marking?

Answer 1

literally months, deadlines are just to make u work quicker, i did my english cw about 2 months after my deadline, and it took them at least another 4 months before they marked it themself before sending it off.

Answer 2

Your coursework should be marked immediately by your teachers, and at the time of the final exams your school will be asked to send a selection of coursework for that subject to the Examing Board, so that they (the Examining Board) can check that the same marking scheme has been used by all schools.

Answer 3

A lot of subjects require teachers from your school to mark and moderate coursework as well before it is sent off. Your normal subject teacher marks the final draft that you hand in to them, then it is passed on to another member in the same subject department usually for a 2nd marking (moderation), before it is sent off to an external examiner. So yes, usually several weeks are needed.
