The following criteria will be used to evaluate the assignment: • Structure and presentation • Key idea comprehension • Analysis and argument • Use of the literature
90-100%: a grade that is on par with a first when all aspects of the work are superb;
A score between 80 to 89% indicates that the work is remarkable in most respects and is consistent with a first.
A score between 70 and 79% is considered to be a first. Work that demonstrates excellent content, organization, presentation, reasoning, and originality; independent reading and thinking evidence; a clear and authoritative grasp of theoretical positions; the capacity to sustain an argument; and the ability to think critically and/or analytically and to synthesize information successfully.
A score between 60 and 69% is equivalent to an upper second. Clear evidence of critical judgment in the selection, ordering, and analysis of content; well-organized and lucid coverage of the main points in an answer; intelligent interpretation and assured use of evidence, examples, and references; some ability to synthesize content and to construct responses that reveal insight and may offer some originality.
50-59%: a range of grades consistent with the lower second; demonstrates an understanding of the key issues and uses pertinent materials in a generally businesslike approach; limited evidence of additional reading; possible unevenness in the organization of the answers and failure to grasp the more nuanced points; some critical analysis and a fraction of insight should be present.
The lower end of the range corresponds to a minimum or threshold pass. 40-49%: a range of marks that is consistent with a third class; demonstrates a limited understanding with no enrichment of the fundamental course material presented in classes; superficial lines of argument and muddled presentation; little or no attempt to relate issues to a broader framework.
35-39%: While not a passing grade, it may be good enough to deserve advancement to the next level. It accomplishes many of the learning outcomes necessary for a mark of 40% but falls short in one or more areas.
30–34%: a fail; may meet some learning objectives but falls short in most respects; demonstrates a serious lack of comprehension of the foundational course material and scant research.
0-29%: a fail; significant factual errors demonstrating a lack of knowledge of the fundamental concepts covered in the course; falls far short of the learning objectives for reimbursement.
