Maybe it says a lot that the academic who set this question also gave me an 8 point mark scheme for a 10 point question, but the candidates' answers are uniformly horrible. A lot of them have misunderstood the question in the same way, but I'm genuinely giving more 3s than I am 5s, and I can count on one hand the number of 7s and 8s I've given so far. (Been marking for almost an hour)
