Assessment Grading Scheme

Distinction (86-100%)

Your work is of an excellent standard and may have the potential for future publication in an academic or professional context. You demonstrate a highly sophisticated engagement in an academic debate with evidence of clear and insightful synthesis of theoretical issues (and practice, where appropriate) which inform your argument. Your work acknowledges differing perspectives and interpretations through critical analysis and evaluation of theoretical models and/or practical applications and demonstrates an excellent understanding of the complexity of the context in which your work is situated and impinging external factors. Your ideas are presented in a clear and succinct manner and conclusions are well reasoned. Referencing is consistently accurate throughout the work, with a sophisticated written style including excellent grammar and sentence construction.

Distinction (70-85%)

Your work is of an extremely good standard and may have the potential for future publication in a professional context. You demonstrate a sophisticated engagement in an academic debate with evidence of clear synthesis of theoretical issues (and practice, where appropriate) which inform your argument. Your work acknowledges differing perspectives and interpretations through critical analysis of theoretical models and/or practical applications and demonstrates an excellent understanding of the complexity of the context in which your work is situated and impinging external factors. Your ideas are presented in a clear and succinct manner and conclusions are well reasoned. There are very few, if any, errors in referencing, grammar or syntax as appropriate.

Merit (60-69%)

Your work demonstrates a systematic and broad understanding of the subject that is clearly based on current and appropriate research. There is evidence of effective engagement in a critical dialogue, and a capacity to express views based on sound argument and solid evidence in an articulate and concise way, and, where relevant, to put forward and make use of criteria for the judgement of theories and issues. The work demonstrates an ability to question and to explore issues and to synthesise theoretical perspectives and practical application. Some small errors in referencing, grammar or syntax as appropriate

Pass (50-59%)

Your work has demonstrated some ability to critically engage with current issues in the discipline, and the structure and focus are evident and relevant to the assignment task. There is evidence of grounding in theory and engagement with pertinent problems issues. The work explores and analyses issues, but may not be strong on presenting synthesis or evaluation, and may be descriptive in parts. Your work has drawn adequate conclusions which may not always reflect the complexity of the subject matter. Some repeated errors in referencing, grammar or syntax as appropriate.

Marginal fail (40-49%)

Whilst some of the characteristics of a pass may have been demonstrated, the work does not adequately address each of the required learning outcomes for the specified assessment task. There may be little evidence of an ability to apply the principles of the discipline to a wider context. The work may be an overly descriptive account demonstrating only minimal interpretation, and very limited evidence of analysis, synthesis or evaluation. There may be a lack of a questioning approach to the investigation and overly simple conclusions drawn which do not reflect the complexity of the subject matter. Work may be poorly structured and presented with frequent referencing, syntax or grammatical errors.
