Assessment Criteria How You’ll be Marked
Marks will be assigned following the marking distribution and assignment standards set out below, but failure to adhere to the Harvard referencing guide (more than three mistakes) or lack of evidence of the use of 10-15 credible peer reviewed references in individual work in Section 3 will lead to an F grade from the assignment irrespective of team component.
Written Communication: structure, English expression, Harvard style referencing, editing.
Visual Communication: layout, appropriate use and quality of images, clarity and professionalism of graphic communications used to explain solutions.
Oral communication: You should confidently present without looking at notes and with good eye contact with the audience. Looking at notes during delivery of the speech would lead to an F grade for presentation and would be asked to stop in the midway.
Depth of Research: demonstrated understanding of the problem context, quality of analysis of literature investigated; & quality, application, and range of research sources used.
Coherence: coherence of the work
