The Following Criteria Have Been Applied in Marking. The Sets Listed Should Be Regarded As General Indicators

This document outlines criteria for marking student performance on assignments from 86% to 0%. The highest marks from 76-86% are for exceptional work that demonstrates extensive knowledge, strong arguments, and original independent thinking. Marks from 60-75% are for very good to excellent work that shows good understanding, sound arguments, and some independent thought. Marks from 50-59% are for good work that addresses the key topics and shows some analysis, but relies more on information from lectures. Lower marks are for weaker performances that demonstrate poor understanding, weak arguments, factual inaccuracies, and a lack of independent thought.
