LNAT Markers

Deadline date: Rolling recruitment until 17th October.

Professor Rebecca Williams (Law Admissions Coordinator) is looking for 40+ markers to help with LNAT essay marking. The position is open to all members of the Faculty. 

Markers will use ‘No More Marking’ software to compare a selection of LNAT essays.  This is an entirely online process and you can log-in and out of the system when it suits you.  You will be working with a set of marking criteria and will be given training in both how to evaluate LNAT essays and how to use the software before we go live. Training is compulsory for any marker who not previously completed No More Marking training.

Duration and hours

Marking work is measured by marking load. Each marker will be expected to complete 12 workpackets, where one workpacket comprises 20 essay comparisons. It is expected that each workpacket will take one hour to complete, therefore the expected total time commitment is 12 -14 hours, which will be spread over 7 days. Payment will be made upon submission of an approved timesheet.

Start date: The training session will be held on Monday 17 October @ 3pm on MS Teams. If you cannot attend at this time, please contact Emma White (emma.white2@law.ox.ac.uk), it will be recorded.

Essays are expected to be available for marking on Monday 24th October and all marking must completed by 5pm Monday 31st October.
