Is the annotation for Item #35 on page 16 of the Scoring Leader Training Materials for Listening correct?
No. There is an error in the annotation. It should reflect only 2 introduced errors with 7 total errors. The deletion of the comma after the word author is considered a neutral revision. Q7-3: In the editing paragraph if the student incorrectly capitalizes words like astronomy, biology, planetary science, environmental preservation, is each incorrectly capitalized word counted as an error? (02/03/06) A: Yes, each incorrect capitalization would count as an introduced error. It is clear in the context of the text that these are fields of study and not specific course names. Using the above examples, if all the fields of study were capitalized, there would be six introduced errors.
