Assessment Guidelines
Grading Criteria
Level 1 modules require that work carried out will incorporate most of the following features:
Fail (Below 50 marks):
- The report will lack the structure, content and use of appropriate terminology that would be expected from a student able to make appropriate conclusions following a critical evaluation of a range of theoretical developmental theory.
- The report will not demonstrate ability for group thought and is therefore unlikely to contain a recognizable critique of academic literature although it may โlistโ some theories/concepts that might, or might not, apply.
- The report will not balance academic theory and the practical application of such to a well-described developmental issue.
- The report will provide little, if any, evidence of the students having “read around” the subject matter. As such the essay will contain few, if any, academic references or, if they do, sources are unlikely to be consistently and/or accurately cited and referenced using Harvard.
- The essay may be inconsistent in approach as well as content – sometimes minor areas, or inappropriate theories, might be discussed at length while relevant or seminal theories are omitted all together. Indeed it may not be clear exactly which theoretical area or practical problem the student is critically analyzing in the report
Pass (50 to 64 marks):
- Sufficient issues are addressed in order to distinguish between the rote learning student and those students with the ability to generate a required level of group thought processes but which is inadequate to achieve a distinction due to inconsistency or due to insufficient understanding.
- Use of structure and terminology that shows an ability to undertake personality analysis.
- Content and structure that indicates an ability to analyze, evaluate and make logical conclusions regarding the personality issues that encompasses both practical examples and theoretical elements.
- Evidence that the theory behind the practical application of personality development concepts is clearly understood but with certain aspects of the analysis being covered more extensively than others that indicates a less insightful critique of particular concepts.
- Use of more dated, limited or unrelated academic referencing showing literature review and research technique that is short of a distinction level.
Merit (65 to 74 marks)
- Evidence of a full understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the methodologies and models employed.
- Evidence of ability to make a sustained argument using appropriate evidence.
Evidence of ability to critically evaluate evidence and synthesize generalizations. - Evidence of an appropriate level of critical analysis and judgment including justification of the criteria.
- Appropriate reading with effective use of a range of relevant sources.
Effective deployment of reading in supporting arguments. - A good grasp of the requirements necessary to conduct an analysis of practical issues; an ability to critique concepts from the literature reviewed; and to make clear and practical conclusions to resolve the issues faced.
Distinction (Above 75 marks):
- Structure and content that distinguishes it as being well rounded in both structure and content with practical and theoretical aspects of the paper being more balanced and with conclusions put forward based on sound theory that shows theoretical evidence.
- Strong evidence of having read extensively around the chosen individual for the interview with extensive referencing of the key theories and arguments proposed and which encompasses the creative application of academic knowledge in such a way that it may well lead to the extension of such academic knowledge.
- Consistency in the arguments used to evaluate and critically analyze the strategies and theories reviewed as well as in the utilization of basic analytical tools.
