Assessment Criteria for All Assessments
% Grade Criteria

Excellent. Outstanding output with only minor errors. Required knowledge and
understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical
techniques are comprehensive in terms of breadth and depth. Ability to employ,
70-100 A contextualise, and interrelate, appropriate theoretical concepts is significant. Analysis,
% interpretation of research data and application are outstanding as is the ability to use
research findings to develop objectives and strategies on the face of challenges and
opportunities. Answers are characterised by independent thought, reflection and
clarity. Overall output is highly literate, focused, evaluative with sustained arguments,
and fluent. Excellent set of references to relevant bibliography.

Very Good. Above the average standard output but with some errors. Required
knowledge and understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their
associated analytical techniques is evident and overall work is of a very good level.
Ability to employ, contextualise and link relevant theoretical concepts between
60-69 B
them is very good but sometimes broad in nature. Analysis, interpretation of data
%
and application abilities are effective and answers are clear indicating independent
thought and reflection. Overall output is literate, focused, evaluative and coherent,
but arguments are not consistent at the same level all of the times. Good overall
ability of using research findings to develop future objectives and appropriate
strategies on the face of identified challenges and opportunities. Appropriate range
of references to relevant bibliography.

Good. Generally sound work but with a number of notable errors. Required
knowledge and understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their
50-59 C associated analytical techniques are reasonable but research, analysis and application
% abilities are restricted as are linkages between theory and practice. There is a
tendency for assertion rather than valid arguments based on analysis but
interpretative and evaluative abilities are indicated in a somewhat good context.
Relatively good references to relevant bibliography.

Satisfactory. Although fair, work has significant shortcomings. Required knowledge and
43-49 D understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical
% techniques are limited. Some degree of accuracy and adequate research abilities are
indicated. Analysis and application are superficial as is the ability to interpret data and
contextualise. Adequate references to relevant bibliography.
 Sufficient. Overall output is weak and is characterised by lack of focus, poor grammar
40-42 E and spelling mistakes. However, despite limitations work meets the minimum criteria
% for a basic pass since it indicates adequate research abilities, adequate understanding of
appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical techniques and has
basic references to relevant bibliography.

0-39% F Fail. Considerable further work is required. Output is unacceptable. Overall work
does not meet the requirements of the brief and is insufficient to achieve a pass
