Anonymous Marking
The University of Sheffield has introduced a system of anonymous marking, where appropriate, for all pieces of assessed work. It is recognised that anonymous marking cannot take place under certain circumstances, for example, where the nature of the work involves contact between the student and the examiner as part of the assessment or when an examiner's familiarity with the content of the work (usually a specific topic identified by an individual student or group) makes anonymity difficult. Consequently, a policy of anonymous marking will be employed for the assessment of all pieces of work, with the exception of dissertations, presentations, projects and portfolios. Students should therefore ensure that they only put their registration number and not their name on the coursework itself. If you are submitting electronically, you may be required to enter your name as part of the filename, but this will not be made available to the marker.
