  Assessment criteria – excellent (5)

  Teoretisk grund:
  Bakgrunden och utgångspunkten är mycket välgrundad och välskriven samt visar en förmåga att förstå temat ur olika perspektiv.

  Resultat:
  Resultatredovisningen är välstrukturerad, innovativ och visar på förmåga till ett självständigt resonemang.
  Återkopplingen till syftet i slutledningen är tydlig och omfattande. Styrkor och svagheter i genomförandet av studien/undersökningen diskuteras. Arbetet avslutas med en intresseväckande avslutning, välgrundad syntes och utvecklingsmöjligheter.
  Presentation:
  Utmärkt sammanfattning av undersökningen (Abstrakt).
  Inledningen förmår problematisera tidigare forskning och kunskap i ämnet och sätter därför syftet i en vetenskapligt intressant kontext. Syftet och frågeställningarna är logiskt kopplade till varandra. Källförteckning och referenser följer standard.
  Presentationen är systematisk och skribenten visar förmåga att utveckla och förtydliga sitt tema. Opponeringen är kritiskt och konstruktivt samt visar även på en god förmåga att problematisera och kritiskt reflektera över skribentens tema.
  Arbetsprocessen är smidig, mogen och självständig.
