90-100%

Exceptional level of attainment of learning outcomes

·         Outstanding and consistent work at or near publishable quality.

·         Demonstrates critical understanding of current knowledge drawing from relevant research papers and reviews.

·         Demonstrates an exceptional level of originality and creativity in thesis argument.

·         Opportunities evident to build on this work with further research.

80-90%

Outstanding range and depth of attainment of learning outcomes

·         Outstanding and consistent work which clearly shows a high level of originality and creativity and/or the ability to argue realistic solution proposals to novel or complex problems.

·         Evidence of wide range of reading which includes research papers and current ‘state of play’ of the subject area.

·         Clear evidence of a creative and highly credible thesis argument.

70-80%

Excellent attainment of virtually all learning outcomes

·         Excellent work which displays a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the subject area.

·         Evidence of critical evaluation of selected aspects of current knowledge.

·         Wide evidence of a cohesive and convincing thesis argument.

60-70%

Clear attainment of most of the learning outcomes

·         Shows good knowledge and understanding of the subject area with no major gaps or omissions.

·         Displays ability to analyse, interpret and organise information to produce a coherent accounts and/or propose  solutions to relatively complex problems

·         Evidence of widespread reading beyond lecture notes and standard texts.

50-60%

Satisfactory attainment of learning outcomes

·         Work shows a satisfactory knowledge and understanding of the essentials of the subject area.

·         Evidence of ability to integrate information in a clear, well-structured account but lacking in breadth and depth, or with significant aspects omitted.

·         Thesis reasonably demonstrates a credible solution to limited, defined problems.

·         Evidence that other reading material was referenced outside standard texts and lecture notes.

40-50%

Acceptable attainment of learning outcomes

·         Thesis shows a general knowledge and understanding of the subject area but it is very limited in depth and breath.

·         Acceptable argument of a proposed solution to basic, familiar problems.

·         Little or no evidence of reading around the subject area.

·         Work displays deficiencies and omissions but not serious enough to warrant a fail.

30-40%

Deficient attainment of specific learning outcomes

·         Marginal failure.

·         Knowledge and understanding of the subject area are fragmented and in some cases showing a very basic understanding of the issues involved.

·         Clear evidence of at least one instance of a fundamental error or omission of a critical aspect of the proposed solution.

·         Unsatisfactory argument to propose an acceptable solution.

20-30%

Widespread evidence of deficient attainment in core learning outcomes

·         Very limited range of knowledge with many important gaps and omissions.

·         Shows incomplete understanding of major aspects of subject area with numerous errors of interpretation.

·         Clear evidence demonstrating a poor or loose thesis argument with little in-depth analysis or problem engagement attempted.

10-20%

Attempt at attaining learning outcomes markedly deficient in most of the learning outcomes

·         Shows only the most limited and fragmentary knowledge of the subject area with little or no understanding of the essential principles and concepts.

·         Very poor or loose work with no real attempt at any credible thesis argument.

0-10%

No satisfactory attainment of most/all of the learning outcomes.

·         Virtually devoid of any evidence of an attempt to understand the subject area or to propose a solution.
