- 9. Youtube Assignment Question • 33 out of 51 took the ‘new’ option • Average grade for the ‘video option’: 65.3% • Average grade for the ‘conventional option’: 54% Digital marking? • The alternative method had a higher take up than in either SS11006 Criminal Justice Environment or SS30014 Contemporary Issues in the Criminal Process. But all three modules had a similar pattern with their grades.
