These are casual academic appointments. The casual rate will vary depending on the type of work completed. Please view our various casual academic pay scales. The marking rate for standard essays is 3,500 words per hour and the pay rate code is AC30A or AC30B. For example, if marking 2,000 words for 18 students, then 2,000 x 18 / 3500 = 10 hours 17 mins.
