Method: answers are sorted first by score (all 2/2 answers first, then 1/2 answers). Within each score group I keep the original question number for reference and add concise feedback or improvement steps. Use the clause references noted (e.g. cl.21, cl.62, cl.65, cl.45).
- Q2. Student: 'stewards finding unused ponds must expand if practicable' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct (cl.21). Good use of the word 'practicable'.
- Q3. Student: 'at Christmas they make statements of fish sales, numbers of restocked fish, and profits plus labor costs (cl62)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Accurate and complete — clause 62 requires an annual statement at Christmas with incomes and costs.
- Q4. Student: 'skilled fishermen, skilled netmakers, (cl45)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct; clause 45 lists these skilled workers. Could add more examples but answer is sufficient.
- Q7. Student: 'assess site is ‘practicable’, water is clean and workers are reliable (cl21)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Good — identifies practicability, water quality and labour as considerations.
- Q8. Student: 'they include geese firewood turnips smiths and fish (cl62)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct and shows understanding of the variety listed in clause 62.
- Q9. Student: 'need to report income from fishponds, eggs, wine, pigs and smiths (cl62)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Thorough and accurate list with correct clause reference.
- Q10. Student: 'Soapmakers maintain estate hygiene by crafting soap and blacksmiths create weapons for defence (45)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Good — names roles and explains why they matter, showing inference beyond recall.
- Q11. Student: 'If they sold all fish without restocking they break cl 65. They need to restock fish for breeding (65)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct and clearly stated; shows understanding of the requirement to preserve breeding stock.
- Q12. Student: 'may sell fish (cl65)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct and concise.
- Q13. Student: 'netmaker, blacksmiths, shoemakers and fishermen (cl45)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Good selection of workers with correct clause reference.
- Q14. Student: 'steward must build fishponds where ‘practicable’ (cl21)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct and succinct.
- Q15. Student: 'check for fishpond expansion potential (cl 21)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct and on point with the clause intent.
- Q16. Student: 'Fish stock numbers, quality of pond upkeep, and cost of fish (cl62)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Good — mentions quantities and costs as required by clause 62.
- Q17. Student: 'more efficient and experienced and reliable staff (cl45)' — Score: 2/2. Feedback: Correct reasoning; explains why stewards should keep specialist workers rather than hire ad hoc.
- Q1. Student: 'fish sold when king gone, and profits go to military supply (cl 65)' — Score: 1/2. Feedback: Partly correct. The student correctly states fish may be sold when king is away and restocking is required (cl.65), but claiming proceeds go to 'military supply' is unsupported by the cited clause. Also omitted that sales and income should be recorded in the estate statement (cl.62). Improvement: remove unsupported allocation of proceeds unless clause text supports it; add that sales and income are recorded for the king's accounts (cl.62).
- Q5. Student: 'aquaculture focused near a field crop' — Score: 1/2. Feedback: Partly clear. The key idea in cl.21 is building/expanding ponds where practicable (consider water, land suitability, access to labour). Saying 'near a field crop' could be valid if you explain why (water source, integrated management). Improvement: state 'where practicable' and give the reasons (water supply, soil, labour access) and cite cl.21.
- Q6. Student: 'lack of hygiene can result in contamination (cl 34)' — Score: 1/2. Feedback: The hygiene/contamination idea is correct, but the clause number cited is wrong for the question (cl.21). Also expand briefly: contaminated garum damages health and reputation, so the king must care. Improvement: cite the correct clause (cl.21) and add the consequence (health/reputation) to strengthen the answer.
Overall improvement tips (step-by-step):
- Always cite the clause that directly supports each claim; double-check clause numbers before answering.
- When making inferences (e.g. why a role is important or where to site a pond), state the textual reason linking it to the clause (water, labour, practicability) rather than making unsupported claims.
- For partial answers, add one or two specific details from the clause (e.g. 'record sales in the Christmas estate statement, cl.62') to move from partial to full credit.
- Keep answers concise but precise: include clause reference, the specific requirement, and one short justification when inference is required.
If you want, I can rewrite the three 1/2 answers into full-credit model answers and show the exact clause wording you should quote or paraphrase.
