Human cantered design approach (past) /5 Logic is clear and easy to follow with strong arguments Consistency logical and convincing Mostly consistent logical and convincing Adequate cohesion and conviction The argument is confused and disjointed A brief discussion of the present-day technology of computer network /5 All elements are present and very well integrated. Components present with good cohesive Components present and mostly well integrated Most components present The proposal lacks structure. Internet speed comparison past, present and future /5 Excellent use of credible sources. Accurate referencing. Obvious that outstanding effort made Extremely good effort Good effort made but not outstanding Made some effort. For example, Web searches only Very little, attempt to reference. The lazy effort with inaccuracies
