Assessment Strategy

-threshold -D - Essay-based questions: Student provided an adequate answer to the question(s), but answers were largely based on lecture material and essential reading, with no real development of arguments, critical evaluation or evidence of study beyond the basics (basics = lecture material and essential reading). Structure and organisation of material was adequate. Answers matching this criteria would generally encompass the C range of grades. D grades may be awarded if elements of inaccuracy and/or misunderstanding were evident within the answer, or if answer missed one or two key points or failed to expand on key points. Fail grades would be awarded if answers were laden within inaccuracy/misunderstanding/omissions.

-good -B - Essay-based questions: Student provided a comprehensive answer to the question(s). Material was well-organised and well-structured. There was clear evidence of a good understanding of the material, and that a deeper understanding of material presented in lectures had been achieved due to relevant further reading and self-study. There was some evidence of appropriate critical evaluation and discussion.Answers matching this criteria would generally encompass the B range of grades.

-excellent -A Essay-based questions: Student provided comprehensive and accurate coverage of question matter, with sound clarity of argument and expression. Answers evidenced a depth of insight into the question matter, and it was clear that this was achieved through relevant further and additional reading. Appropriate critical evaluation of evidence and discussion of material supported all answers. Answers matching this criteria would generally encompass the A range of grades.
