are done. She ended her communication by informing members that all examination papers shall be
subject to internal moderation and after they will be forwarded to the external examiners for

Minute 03/10/2023: Consideration of available examination papers for
moderation.
Examinations form an essential part of quality teaching and learning. This is because it
is through a quality examination process that lecturers can know the effectiveness of
their lecturing strategies as well as the extent to which students have understood
content taught.

Moderation of the available examination papers begun with establishment of how


much examination has been received by the examination department. It was realized
that the examinations available were very few and couldn’t allow the moderation
exercise to take shape.

The Coordinator School of education presented the examination paper to members for
moderation. 20 papers were moderated by the members present. These papers were set by
different lecturers from different campuses and all were considered during the process of
moderation.

The coordinator argued the members to give students coursework in time and mark it in time and
submit it to examination department and also enforce students especially the lazy ones to do the
course work in order to curb the problem of getting retakes by students.

end of every semester by all departmental members.
