Process
Are course outcomes achievable? Is course/assessment fit for purpose? Are procedures appropriate for measuring
student achievement? Are the qualifications awarded comparable
to other HE institutions? Is the process fair and equitable? Does it make appropriate provision for
special needs Is the sample truly reflective of the cohort?

General activities
Early involvement of externals in course and course assessment is desirable.
Identify standards Discussions + email/telephone
conversations Observations of assessment practice and
process Observations of ‘standard setting’ practice
and process Reviews of data and analysis Marking and re marking scripts
![Page 13: Summary Input – process – output model. Input Written Oral Observational](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082512/5516151355034694308b54d2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example of typical process for Medicine
Review set exam papers – is the level appropriate? does the marking schedule relate to the questions asked?
Review marking schedule Observe sample of OSCEs and practicals Review exam scripts (sample) – were questions
comprehended? Quality of answers? Is level appropriate?
Relate marking schedule to scripts Review and discussion with other external
examiners Review range of marks
