Assessment Strategy

-threshold -D- to D+ (40-49%) A performance which, while predominantly correct in its presentation of material, contains a significant level of error and is therefore not entirely reliable.

-another level-C- to C+ (50-59%) A performance which, while always in the main accurate and correct, fails to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant material and is lacking in criticism. An answer which while reliable with regard to correctness is either not comprehensive or not entirely pertinent.

-good -B- to B+ (60-69%) High Standard: A performance containing all the material relevant to the question and no irrelevancy, all the material and references being accurate and correct, there being no inaccuracy or error, the whole presented in an argument which, while clear, logical and critical, leaves room for improvement in its construction and presentation. Complete competence in the subject.

-excellent -A- to A* (70+%) An outstanding performance containing all the material relevant to the question and no irrelevancy, all the material and references being accurate and correct, there being no inaccuracy or error, the whole presented in a clear, logical, critical argument with little room for improvement. Demonstrates a complete mastery of the subject.
