Formal Assessment Criteria MMP st st (i) (ii) rd Fail30-39 Fail20-29 Fail0-19

Example for % 1st: % An outstanding body of work demonstrating a very deep insight into the problem and presented as such. Written components will be professionally presented in both layout on the page and logical structure. They will also be impressively presented in an appropriate style and will be grammatically of an extremely high standard. Demonstrates an excellent insight into the technologies employed and uses appropriate terminology accurately. Implementation components will be extremely well finished, will represent a very substantial level of technical achievement, and will more than completely fulfil the functional requirements. The project as a whole will demonstrate a very strong commitment, and will have been approached in a very well organised and well motivated manner. Results and products of the project will be of publishable research quality and/or of a standard comparable to or better than that found in the products of industry leaders. MMP

Example for 40-49% 3rd: 40-49% A body of work which shows some insight into the problem. Written components will show what progress has been made, and make some attempt to show which areas have not been understood. Documents may show a lack of structure, comprehensibility, clarity and grammatical quality. Documents may also be incomplete in coverage of the work undertaken. Probably fails to show insight into the technologies used and often fails to use appropriate terminology. Implementation will represent an identifiable level of technical achievement but is likely to be incomplete and may omit some aspects of the core problem. No adequate attempt to tackle more advanced sections of the work. The project as a whole will have been approached in a disorganised manner and probably demonstrates a lack of commitment. Results and products of the project are likely to be poor and/or incomplete and will be well below publishable quality and of a standard significantly below that found in the products of industry leaders.
