How is your work marked?

To pass the module you must achieve an overall minimum mark of 50%. If you pass the module on re-assessment, the component you resit will be capped at a pass mark level of 50%.

The marking process makes sure that our marking of your work is fair and transparent. There is a first marker responsibility for giving your formal feedback and making an initial assessment of the standard of your work by giving it a provisional mark. After this there are two further layers of checking and assurance. It is worth noting that this process means that you are unable to appeal your final marks and/or grades on the grounds of academic judgement.

You will be marked, graded and assessed according to the following PG criteria:

Distinction	70 +	Excellent in every way.  Knowledgeable, incisively analytical, conceptually sound, widelyresearched and well-structured.  Displays a critical and sophisticated understanding of ideas, debates, methodologies and principles.  Comprehensively cited and referenced.  A degree of flair apparent in the work.
Merit	60 - 69	Very good, well-researched, solid.  Addresses question.  Sensibly structured and well presented.  Evidence of analysis, reasoning and evaluation.  May have some errors in emphasis but not in fact, and may be limited in terms of supporting material and breadth of coverage.  Appropriately cited and referenced.
Pass	50 - 59	Average to good.  Reasonable bibliography.  Signs of effort, though more descriptive than analytical.  May have some errors but balanced by sound work.  May not fully address the question with deficiencies in knowledge and understanding or directness and organisation.
Fail	40 - 49	Fail. Descriptive narrative.  May be partly irrelevant.  Indiscriminate.  Lacks structure.  Could be more direct and explicit.  Little independent research evident.  Short bibliography. May be confused or irrelevant.  Heavily based on lecture notes, but a minimum of understanding to justify a pass.  Answers by inference.
