MARC – The story so far… 2017/18 2018/19 Pilot Psychology Department & Anglia Law School – Level 6 First Impressions Survey LiLT Event – April 2018 End of Year survey – 44 Responses 2018/19 Digifest – September 2018 Psychology Department & Anglia Law School – Level 5 & 6 End of Year survey – 26 Responses

Isn’t it just a calculator? Staff Personal Tutorials – Setting Targets/Goals Digital tool to enable and empower students Not just academics! iCentre staff receive a high number of queries Students Aspirational, helps to maximise potential Improved understanding of “what counts” Satisfaction – contribution to NSS

2017/18 Further Analysis We used attainment data at levels 5 & 6 from two departments – Law & Psychology, made up of: 44 students who responded to end of year survey in 17/18 20 randomly selected students who graduated in July 2017 We examined the extent to which student performance varies between levels 5 and 6, using: The calculated Level 5 mark that contributes to the final grade The overall average from Level 5 The overall average from Level 6 The final grade

Findings The Level 6 average mark is a very good predictor of final mark and there is a near 1:1 relationship, unsurprising as level 6 accounts for 2/3 of the final mark The Level 5 contributory mark is a good predictor of final mark The Level 5 average mark is a very good predictor of the Level 5 contributory mark, but the contributory mark is about 5 percentage points higher than the average at Level 5. The Level 5 contributory mark is a relatively poor predictor of the Level 6 average

What do we learn about progression? Performance at Level 5, both overall and in the ‘best’ modules that contribute to final grade, is typically below the level attained at Level 6. We can use the different relationships to make predictions about the final mark and explore patterns for different degree classifications. As a working hypothesis, we expect the difference between prediction and observation for individual students to be independent of final mark.

What do we learn about progression?

What do we learn about progression?

What do we learn about progression? Students who graduate with a ‘good degree’ will have demonstrated consistently strong behaviour across Levels 5 and 6. Students who perform poorly at Level 5 will not only go into Level 6 with low marks but tend then to underachieve. If these conclusions are valid, then it underscores the need to make Level 4 an effective foundation for HE learning, so that when marks start to count towards the final grade students are fully ‘up to speed’ and can demonstrate their full potential. The MARC tool can be important in raising awareness and supporting enagagement at Level 5.

2018/19 Survey Data I think it is a good idea to allow students to calculate their projected degree classification. 88% Agreed or Strongly Agreed Now that I have ongoing access to MARC I am likely to use it a lot throughout the remainder of my studies 85% Agreed or Strongly Agreed I found that using MARC has helped me understand how my final degree will be calculated. 80% Agreed or Strongly Agreed Now I have seen my current degree classification I am more likely to try harder 77% Agreed or Strongly Agreed

2018/19 Survey Data Which of these words best reflect the way that you felt when you saw your results from MARC?

2018/19 Survey Data Now that I know my current average mark and the effort that I need to obtain a better degree classification, I am likely to do some or all of the following. Select ANY that apply. Answer Responses I will work hardest on the remaining modules that offer the best chance of a high mark 16 I will make more use of online materials on module Canvas sites 12 I will undertake study beyond the specific scope of my modules 8 I will improve my attendance at lectures, seminars and other taught sessions I will make more use on Library resources, including training and advice 7 I will seek advice from Study Skills Plus I will work with my fellow students so that we all improve 6 I will discuss my progress with my personal tutor 5 I will seek advice from a student adviser 4 I will seek advice from the Employability Service 2

“Using the MARC calculator gave me the confidence that I could achieve the first class degree I have been striving for. It has been giving me that motivation to get through the final push of university, to make sure I achieve first class honours.” 3rd Year student, Abnormal and Clinical Psychology

2019/20 What’s Next? Expressions of interest – Would you like your students to use MARC? Suggestions for updates/improvements Ideas on how we could measure efficacy? Get in touch! damien.murray@anglia.ac.uk
