E Sufficient. Overall output is weak and is characterised by lack of focus, poor grammar and spelling 40-42 mistakes. However, despite limitations work meets the minimum criteria for a basic pass since it indicates adequate research abilities, adequate understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and % their associated analytical techniques and has basic references to relevant bibliography. 25-39 FX/R Referral. Some more work is required before the credit can be awarded. Little evidence of required knowledge, understanding or appreciation of relevant theoretical concepts. Analysis is absent and % application abilities are non-existent. Work has little accuracy in relation to the brief -if any, and overall output is bellow requirements.

D Satisfactory. Although fair, work has significant shortcomings. Required knowledge and understanding 43-49 of appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical techniques are limited. Some degree % of accuracy and adequate research abilities are indicated. Analysis and application are superficial as is the ability to interpret data and contextualise. Adequate references to relevant bibliography.

Good. Generally sound work but with a number of notable errors. Required knowledge and understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical techniques are reasonable but research, analysis and application abilities are restricted as are linkages between theory and practice. There is a tendency for assertion rather than valid arguments based on analysis but interpretative and evaluative abilities are indicated in a somewhat good context. Relatively good references to relevant bibliography.

Very Good. Above the average standard output but with some errors. Required knowledge and understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical techniques is evident and overall work is of a very good level. Ability to employ, contextualise and link relevant theoretical concepts between them is very good but sometimes broad in nature. Analysis, interpretation of data and application abilities are effective and answers are clear indicating independent thought and reflection. Overall output is literate, focused, evaluative and coherent, but arguments are not consistent at the same level all of the times. Good overall ability of using research findings to develop future objectives and appropriate strategies on the face of identified challenges and opportunities. Appropriate range of references to relevant bibliography.

Excellent. Outstanding output with only minor errors. Required knowledge and understanding of appropriate theoretical concepts and their associated analytical techniques are comprehensive in terms Of breadth and depth. Ability to employ, contextualise, and interrelate, appropriate theoretical concepts is significant. Analysis, interpretation of research data and application are outstanding as is the ability to use research findings to develop objectives and strategies on the face of challenges and opportunities. Answers are characterised by independent thought, reflection and clarity. Overall output is highly literate, focused, evaluative with sustained arguments, and fluent. Excellent set of references to relevant bibliography.
