Note: scoring on Digiexam is not going to be correct for questions with 3 correct answers. However, a key can be used to let the moderator know what '1.3' and '2.6' refer to. The Moderator can also access the updated marks of all students on the 'Anonymous grade spreadsheet v2’. If no issues are found, marking is complete.
