Marking and Assessment Criteria

Your essay answer will be graded in accordance with the following guidelines:

• To receive the maximum marks: High First Class (80-100%) the essay must fulfil the following conditions:

1. Work contains original, highly relevant and exceptionally comprehensive information.
2. It exhibits an unusually sophisticated level of insight into the finer nuances of the specific question or topic and displays rigorous and independent thought.
3. The work is exemplary in structure and coherence.
4. Evidence of highly skilled and incisive critical analysis of sources.
5. Indication of high research skills including the ability to select relevant primary and secondary sources which go beyond those used for the preparation of the module.
6. Perfect referencing and a fully comprehensive and very well-presented bibliography, if applicable.
7. Excellent use of grammar, spelling and language conventions.

Lower marks will reflect a percentage of failure to fulfil those criteria.

Study Requirements

For Master Students the University has adopted level descriptors that are defined as follows:

‘Display mastery of a complex and specialised area of knowledge and skills, employing advanced skills to conduct research, or advanced technical or professional activity, accepting accountability for related decision-making including use of supervision and in appropriate circumstances the guidance of others’.

One credit equates to 10 notional hours of student learning which includes study time, directed and independent preparation, and assessment. A 10 Credits Module would require at least 100 hours of study and preparation.
For DL Modules this may be divided (as a suggestion) into the following percentage:

• 60 hours: preparation of the Module: i.e. searching and reading relevant material and preparation of questions contained in the different Units.
• 20 hours: personal research for the preparation of the assessment.
• 20 hours: essay writing for the assessment.
• However, each student is free to organise the time devoted to study and preparation in the more appropriate way.
