Herbert,
You understand perfectly! At least I imagine you do.
But seriously, the errors typically result in, for instance, an incorrect DR position, so every position after it has to be checked. But I can't simply give credit for a correct answer. Everything has to be checked. Every so often a correct answer is reached incorrectly, but those are usually easier to spot.

Stan,
You wrote
"When grading these exams we allow for "dependent errors", where there is no deduction for subsequent errors that are based on a previous error, if the subsequent work is done correctly. "
So if a student, say, because of a multiplication error, obtains an out of range argument for an arc function and proceeds happily with a complex angle he still gets points? Imaginary points, at least?
