Exemplary range and depth of attainment of intended learning
outcomes, secured by discriminating command of a comprehensive
range of relevant materials and analyses, and by deployment of
considered judgement relating to key issues, concepts and procedures
Well written in good scientific English
All main and lesser points covered in depth
Several supporting examples
Originality or synthesis that demonstrates excellent understanding
Accurate, with no serious errors
Clear evidence of further reading
Diagrams, (if appropriate) are clear, accurate and properly labelled
Conclusive attainment of virtually all intended learning outcomes,
clearly grounded on a close familiarity with a wide range of
supporting evidence, constructively utilised to reveal appreciable
depth of understanding
All main points covered in depth with appropriate supporting examples
Clear evidence of comprehension of taught material
Lesser points missing or minor errors
Some evidence of material that goes beyond the lectures in either breadth or depth
Diagrams used appropriately, adding significantly to the argument but lacking in some details or poorly labelled
Good use of English and scientific terms
Clear attainment of most of the intended learning outcomes, some
more securely grasped than others, resting on a circumscribed range
of evidence and displaying a variable depth of understanding
Most of the main points covered but not in detail
Few examples
Gaps in factual content or understanding, although question quite clearly addressed
Little or no evidence of further reading
Diagrams (if relevant) adequate only
Language simple with little use of scientific terms
Acceptable attainment of intended learning outcomes, displaying a
qualified familiarity with a minimally sufficient range of relevant
materials, and a grasp of the analytical issues and concepts which is
generally reasonable, albeit insecure
Several important points missing, or major errors
A lack of understanding of some of the material, but enough detail to show that the topic is understood
Examples sparse or flawed
Any diagrams inadequate
Message poorly conveyed
F1
Attainment deficient in respect of specific intended learning outcomes,
with mixed evidence as to the depth of knowledge and weak
deployment of arguments or deficient manipulations
Makes one or two important points but only at a superficial level
Very limited use of examples
Some significant errors
An unstructured, waffling, or excessively short, answer
F2
Attainment of intended learning outcomes appreciably deficient in
critical respects, lacking secure basis in relevant factual and analytical
dimensions
Makes one or two relevant points but only at a superficial level
Examples missing or irrelevant
Some serious errors
Poorly written
F3
Attainment of intended learning outcomes appreciably deficient in
respect of nearly all intended learning outcomes, with irrelevant use
of materials and incomplete and flawed explanation
Only vague hints of material relevant to the question
No relevant examples
Errors serious and fundamental
Very poorly written
F4
No convincing evidence of attainment of any intended learning
outcomes, such treatment of the subject as is in evidence being
directionless and fragmentary
