80-100

Outstanding knowledge of the context demonstrated with justified analysis and nuanced well-supported conclusions in coherent and commanding piece of writing

Excellent analysis of complex relevant issues. Intelligent synthesis of highly relevant theoretical frameworks with a convincing attempt at formulating original and well supported highly coherent recommendations

Outstanding level of fluency including a sophisticated vocabulary and highly coherent structure with exceptional attention to detail

Strong evidence of very well selected independent research

Exemplary use of referencing and in-text citations from a broad range of highly relevant sources

70-79

Excellent knowledge of the context demonstrated with thoughtful analysis and supported conclusions in a confident piece of writing

Very good analysis of complex relevant issues. A very good synthesis within well-structured coherent and persuasive arguments to formulate credible recommendations

Excellent level of fluency and clarity with appropriate vocabulary, a coherent structure and very good attention to detail throughout

Evidence of some relevant independent research

In-text citations and references are highly accurate from well-selected relevant sources

60-69

Very good knowledge of the context demonstrated with partially supported recommendations in a consistently secure piece of writing

Good analysis of issues showing an awareness of contextual issues that are both well-structured, coherent and largely well-supported in reasonable recommendations

A good level of fluency and clarity with a logical structure and good attention to detail

Minor intermittent lapses in attention to detail of spelling, grammar or formatting do not hamper the clarity of the work

Sources are well utilised and selected

In-text citations and references are accurate

50-59

Good and secure knowledge of the context is demonstrated with an attempt at conclusions which are partially supported in a mostly secure piece of writing

Evidence of some analysis of issues related to the context that are somewhat well-structured and/or propose partially supported recommendations

A reasonable level of fluency and clarity with an appropriate structure but lacking some attention to detail (i.e. sub-headings / paragraphs)

Some lapses of spelling or grammar in places

Sources are relevant

In text citations and references are provided which are somewhat accurate

40-49

Mostly secure knowledge of the context is demonstrated with an attempt at conclusions which are not strongly supported but writing is generally competent

Limited evidence of an attempt to analyse issues that may be only loosely relevant to the context or lack coherence or convincing support

Writing is mostly clear and there is an attempt at following an appropriate structure but with some repeated errors in spelling, grammar and formatting

Sources are broadly, but not wholly, relevant

An attempt at both in-text citation and referencing has been made somewhat inaccurately or is incomplete

30-39

There is some knowledge of the context but there is also some evidence of some significant gaps in knowledge or misunderstandings of the context

Little evidence of any analysis of relevant issues that may lack clarity, coherence or relevance to the context

There is an attempt at writing but with a lack of clarity and / or structure

Repeated significant lapses of spelling or grammar are detrimental to the coherence of the work

References are mostly provided but are not matched with in-text citations and/or the APA7 convention is very poorly applied

Sources may be poorly selected, such as being out of date or lacking contextual relevance

0-29

Work demonstrates significant gaps in knowledge and purpose or contains large sections of work that are noticeably different in style and/or tone that may appear to be inauthentic

A negligible attempt to analyse issues and/or a fundamental lack of clarity in relating theoretical frameworks to the context

Work lacks both fluency and clarity and has multiple inaccuracies that inhibit the communication of clear meaning or may have been generated inauthentically

No significant attempt at both references and citations is provided
