Students will be assessed on the following criteria:
Evidence and depth of research (20%)
Relevance of content (20%)
Application of tool and model (20%)
Clarity of Structure (10%)
Writing to the audience (15%)
Correct referencing (15%)
Details about each criterion can be checked by assessing the marking guide listed in the document. It is very important to note that research is a key criterion that will influence the mark you earn. The best research is where students make their arguments by using peer-reviewed journal articles. While using a minimum of six (6) sources is expected, students will only achieve a top mark in their research component when they adequately use between ten (10) and fifteen (15) quality research sources. Kindly note that using WIKIPEDIA and other online encyclopedia is not allowed and may result in being given a fail grade for the task.
