Exam Supervision

Earlier this year Julie Powter from Newcastle Uni sent an email to the Exams Network requesting the following information:

• The amount your supervisors are paid per hour for their respective roles

• The applicable HEW level • Pay increments if considered e.g. HEW 1.2, HEW 2.4 • How you pay them – through your University or via

Employment/Recruitment Agency? • Duties (brief) of duties in relation to respective roles/HEW

Why was the information requested

As presented at the last exams conference at UNE, there are many different terminologies used across the network for what, in essence, is the same process, job or practice. One of these areas in particular is Exam Supervision. As Exam Supervision is the main theme of this conference the information requested has been put together in an endeavour to find or begin to find some consistency across the network. For example, could we develop an Industry standard document in relation to Exam Supervision. Discussion 1: Naming Conventions e.g. Invigilators or Supervisor, Head or Chief etc Discussion 2 Supervision in relation to AEA, Amanuensis, Students with Disabilities – naming conventions, duties, pay rates Discussion 3 Exam Supervisors pay rates / duties associated with each position / level Some Obstacles to consider are: Enterprise Bargaining Agreements Historic Practices

Exam Supervisor – AUT

The position of Exam Supervisor is one of responsibility as infringement of the examination rules/procedures by any party (examiner, examination supervisor, student) is taken very seriously. Exam Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that examinations are properly conducted in accordance with the policies and procedures of the University and faculty/school/department. Exam Supervisors work under the guidance of the Exam Coordinator or the faculty/school/department and are expected to be conversant with the procedures in these guidelines and the faculty/school/department Exam Supervisor’s handbook. In most cases there is one Exam Supervisor assigned to each examination room. That person’s overall duty is to ensure that students may write examinations and demonstrate their academic ability under circumstances that are as conducive as possible. In order to do this the Exam Supervisor is responsible for: • the security of the examination material once it is received from the

faculty/school/department/Exam Coordinator and until it is returned. • The set up of the room pre examination. • Recording student attendance and identification. • the smooth coordination of the examination in that room including ensuring: • students receive appropriate instruction on the examination conditions materials are limited to

those permitted by instructions on the examination paper/cover sheet • The opportunity for students to focus on their own examination is maximised any disruptive events

are minimised. • The post examination return, to the Examination Coordinator, of all completed examination

papers, answer booklets (if required) and unused material. • Accurately recording and reporting on any events of misconduct or other events that disturb the

examination. • Reporting back on all aspects of the examination event to the Examination Coordinator.
