A basic level of understanding of the

Key issues have been identified and
discussed, but without any significant
insights being developed. There is some
limited engagement with theory but with
some gaps in understanding.
There is evidence of some independent
research related to the case study, but this
tends to be lacking support, and critical
appreciation of the sources of information.
engagement with critical aspects of the
course
An appropriate response to the assessment
brief and all aspects of the task have been
addressed. A reasonable level of content
has been covered and the ability to analyse
concepts and think critically is evident

weakened by occasional confusion or
flaws.

sources are missing.

work; manage to answer a few of the
questions in the Q&A section
 Fail: below 40%

An inadequate level of understanding

of the concepts and issues is evident.
The selection of ideas is not
appropriate, and the discussion remains
at a basic level as a result. Few
essential issues are identified and
analysed, and there is evidence of
substantial misunderstanding.

The topic/case study is poorly

researched and supported.

Little evidence of engagement with

theory and the approach adheres to a
predominantly mainstream perspective,
which fails to address the critical
aspects of the course

The assignment does not meet

expectations of appropriateness as a
response to the task set. It needs to
address the topic more explicitly and
analytically. There is little evidence of
a critical perspective in relation to the
ideas focused upon, and the whole
remains largely descriptive. No
discernible arguments are presented, or
they are flawed or confused.

There is an inadequate and uncritical

use of essential literature sources, and
some sources may not be relevant to
the topic.
A lack of clarity in written expression
presents considerable comprehension
difficulties. The style of the assignment
does not meet expectations.

Referencing does not conform to

expected conventions and lacks
sufficient consistency
