A poor essay would simply list a selection of agents and describe their characteristics. i.e. it would not address the question. It may refer only to one or two types of pathogen (virus bacteria etc) and it would have some clear misunderstandings and errors. A good essay would define the perfect pathogen and consider the characteristics that it might possess. It would cover all of the classes of agent, would draw on a range of examples from each, not just limited to those in the lectures. It would draw some coherent conclusions. An excellent essay would focus on the notion of a perfect pathogen, investigate the concept, and discuss the various parameters, using a range of examples from all the types of agent. It would have clear evidence that the student had really thought about the problem and addressed it in an original way. Marking guidelines

I didn’t understand this… This is wrong Grammar! How about some more examples? Comment Why not? How can it be made clearer? Why? What is the right thing here? What is wrong? Why? How should it be written Suggest some Discussion point Don’t quote extensively Don’t plagiarise Try not to use lectures as references Back up statements of fact with a reference Don’t use figures as decoration Remember the essay title: it is NOT: “Write an essay about pathogens.”
