MARKING CRITERIA

This is a guide to the criteria used by AF in assigning a mark to a piece of work. Broadly speaking, work is
assessed on four criteria:

- Depth of research

- Quality of argument and analysis

- Range of knowledge

- Organization and presentation/ Flow of Information/Coherence

To obtain a particular class of assessment a piece of work does not have to fulfil all the criteria listed for
that class — judgements are formed on the basis of the predominant character of the work — but the
guidelines help to show what examiners are looking for in their evaluations. Evidence of strength in
some areas may compensate for weaknesses in others.
