It will contain basic summaries/descriptions of some of the topics covered and will contain some sense of the student’s learning, but it may be sketchy, disorganised, short, or lacking a sense of progression. While there will be some evidence of understanding, the work will show very limited evidence of critical selection, analysis and reflection.

Bedömningskriterier, goda-synnerligen goda (3-4)

It will show a clear and developing understanding of the concepts and issues addressed in the course, and provide both critical analysis and reflection on the topics of the course. The work will cover the main topics/themes but may draw on supplementary resources as well. There will be clear evidence of the student’s own learning process and of active engagement with the course content.

Bedömningskriterier, berömliga (5)

It will not only demonstrate comprehensive and relevant coverage of the course
material but it will also present substantial analysis, evaluation and synthesis.
Work in this range will draw on a considerable amount of supplementary resources, take a particularly original approach to reflection, or point out exceptionally insightful or unexpected links between different elements of the course. The work submitted will reflect a persistent and high level of engagement and learning and will demonstrate a cumulative understanding of the course material
