What is academic marking?

Academic marking refers to the process of evaluating and grading students' work, such as exams, essays, or assignments, based on specific criteria or rubrics. Markers assess the quality, accuracy, and completeness of the submitted work to determine a fair and consistent grade. This process ensures that students receive feedback on their performance and that academic standards are maintained within an educational institution.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an academic marker, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Academic Marker, you need strong subject matter expertise, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of academic standards, often supported by relevant qualifications or teaching experience. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS) and plagiarism detection tools like Turnitin is typically required. Critical thinking, impartiality, and clear written communication are essential soft skills for providing constructive feedback and fair assessments. These abilities ensure accurate, consistent grading and support student learning and academic integrity.

What are some common challenges faced by academic markers, and how can they be managed effectively?

Academic markers often encounter challenges such as maintaining consistency and objectivity across large volumes of assignments, managing tight deadlines, and navigating ambiguous or subjective grading criteria. To address these, it’s important to thoroughly understand the marking rubric, participate in standardization meetings, and seek clarification from lead instructors when needed. Effective time management and regular communication with the academic team also help ensure fair and timely feedback for students.

Job description

Req ID: 49713
Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts & Science

Course Description: This course examines drawing by artists and architects in early modern Europe (c. 1500-1800), from artistic to technical drawing, as both an object of study and a working practice. Students will study how drawing came to be understood as a category in its own right- moving from a workshop tool to an object of collecting and connoisseurship - and what this shift reveals about changing perceptions of drawing, then and since. The course will also introduce students to professionals who work with drawings today, including curators, dealers, and connoisseurs, through guest presentations and discussion, and will include at least one visit to a local collection to study original drawings firsthand.   

Estimated Course Enrolment: 20 students


Estimated TA Support: None

  • At least two years of experience creating and marking undergraduate writing assignments, exercises, and/or undergraduate essays in art history.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Previous teaching experience in this or a similar course at the university level.

Description of Duties: All normal duties related to the design and teaching of a University credit course, including: preparing and delivering one 2-hour lecture per week; developing and publishing the syllabus and marking scheme through Quercus; preparing relevant assignments for student assessment, and (if applicable) setting and invigilating term tests and final examination/assignments for student assessment; grading and reporting of final grades; maintaining office hours for academic counseling of students; answering queries by email or appointment.
