(6) Effective communication (3 marks) General guidelines for marking effective communication : (The mark for effective communication should relate to the candidate’s knowledge in chemistry. A candidate who wrote a paragraph which is torally unrelated to the question should deserve zero marks both in chemical knowledge and in effective communication, (ii) The table below illustrates the relationship between the mark for chemical knowledge and the maximum mark for effective communication, together with the points to be considered in marking effective communication. mark for chemical | maximum mark for effective | points to be considered in paragraph knowledge communication (iii) below 4 or above 3 (A), (B) and (C) 3 or below 2 (B) and (C) (iii) The three marks for effective communication are awarded as follows : (A) _ the ability to present ideas in a precise manner, including the proper use of chemical terms (this mark should not be awarded to answers which contained a lot of incorrect/superfluous materials); 1 (B) the ability to present ideas in a systematic manner (ie, the answer is easy to follow); (C)__ the ability to present answer in paragraph form and to express ideas using full sentences, a (f conc.
