Hello, am a PhD student and have been asked to do some marking. Does anyone know what the current going rates are. I know they may vary from instituition to instituition, but would be interested to hear other people's experiences as I have never done any marking before.

I get paid nothing! Ah, the joys of getting 'experience' for your CV. But generally I think the going rate for teaching assistants if pay is available is between £10-£20. I don't know if the same applies if you're just doing marking without teaching.

£3.50 per essay and a bit less for exams where I work.

Thank you all for your responses. At least I have a rough guide of what current rates are.
