The assessment will be assessed in accordance with the following general criteria: 1. Presentation 2. Organisation 3. Analysis and application of theory 4. Relevance 5. Coherence 6. References The expected response to the assessment is outlined above. However, the depth of the theory is such that students may provide answers that may vary. The assessment is therefore assessed by the marker in terms of the relevant theory and marked accordingly. The responses provided by students may not in their entirety be reflected in the marking guide, but could be a satisfactory response to the question. Students are given full recognition for this.
