Although
both holistic and analytic marking are important, I prefer analytic assessment
as the teachers only choose to mark on selected aspects of a writing task.
There are a few aspects that teachers see in marking an essay, for instance the
idea, the flow of the story, the word choice, and the grammar. Students are
able to learn one step at a time according to the teachers’ selected marking
aspects or specific criteria. Teachers are able to assess the students and get
hold on each student’s strength and weakness in writing and thus help them to
improve on each aspect. Despite the fact that it is more time-consuming than
the holistic marking, analytic marking can help students to realize which
criteria they are weak in and thus improve it.
