· Draws links to other modules

· No further development of answer required

· Wide topic knowledge from the module

· Draws different concepts together effectively

· Strong use of relevant theoretical models and/or research

· Fully referenced with wide range of sources

· Strong evidence of independent research

· Draws together some of the key topics from the module

· Some use of theoretical models and/or research to support answer

· Evidence of some independent research but largely guided by references provided in the module

· Adequate use of module topics

· Some gaps in knowledge or misunderstanding of concepts

· Some evidence of research and reading but may be overreliance on core textbooks/overuse of direct quotes etc.

· Limited use of topic knowledge from the module/lack of detail

· Some significant gaps in knowledge or misunderstanding

· Limited or poor evidence of research and reading

· Overreliance on lecture slides and notes

· No/very limited supporting literature

Critical Thinking

Evidence that the student has:

Questioned their sources, arguments and solutions

· Extensive critical evaluation of arguments and cited literature

· Fully balanced argument

· Researched and answered from different angles.

· Questions some of the research sources used

· Well balanced argument

· Explores some alternative arguments, advantages/disadvantages, pros and cons etc.
