APPENDIX A Postgraduate Grading Criteria
HOW YOUR POSTGRADUATE WORK WILL BE ASSESSED
A Grades Work of an excellent standard. An ‘A’ grade will count towards a Distinction on the programme as a whole. An A1 indicates work upon which it would be difficult to improve within the constraints of the module. A grade work: will have demonstrated excellent achievement of all the module learning outcomes will frequently be characterised by a degree of originality should demonstrate a thorough understanding of key concepts within the subject will, where appropriate, be characterised by the application of theoretical concepts to empirical issues with appropriate reflection requires that all of the elements of the question set will have been addressed will show evidence of reading beyond that specified by the tutor/examiner, reflecting a broad literature review will show an ability to approach reading with a critical understanding will show evidence, where required, of an ability to evaluate contrasting viewpoints and draw conclusions will demonstrate a degree of independence of thought, rather than relying simply on the ideas of others, perhaps as contained in the prescribed reading for the module will demonstrate an ability to analyse and synthesise information will always be written in a clear and concise manner, will be well constructed and the argument of the work will flow smoothly. will include an appropriate range of references using one of the recognised protocols. will normally be presented to a high standard. B Grades Work of a very good standard. A ‘B’ grade will count towards a commendation on the programme as a whole. B Grade work : will have demonstrated good achievement of all the module learning outcomes will demonstrate an ability to integrate theoretical concepts with business or management practice, where appropriate will address the key elements of the question set will usually show evidence of reading beyond that specified by the tutor/examiner
will provide evidence of a good grasp of prescribed literature will demonstrate evidence of independent thought will generally be written in a clear and concise manner with a good structure and a logically developed argument will normally be well-presented will include references using one of the recognised protocols for academic work
Work of a satisfactory standard. A ‘C’ grade will count towards a pass in the programme as a whole. C Grade work: will have demonstrated achievement of all the module learning outcomes will demonstrate attempts to integrate theory and practice, demonstrating understanding of both will demonstrate familiarity with, and understanding of, prescribed literature should demonstrate an understanding of the existence of alternative viewpoints, where these exist or where required by the question may incorporate evidence of independent thought will be generally coherent, though some weaknesses in structure or clarity may be evident will be presented to a satisfactory standard will include an indication of literature consulted, using the prescribed referencing protocol
F Grades Work of insufficient quality to achieve a Pass standard. It may be eligible for referral. F Grade work may suffer from some or all of the following defects: will have demonstrated achievement of few of the module learning outcomes fails to address the question set no attempt to integrate theory and practice little or no understanding of relevant theory and/or business and management practice little or no reference to appropriate literature little or no evidence of independent thought little or no evidence that the candidate has grasped key ideas is incoherent or has severe faults in its construction inadequate citation of appropriate literature makes unsubstantiated statements or assertions is unduly descriptive and/or lacks analysis is badly presented is late without having gained permission through the Business School procedures is unduly derivative of the work of others, for example, quoting or copying large tracts from published works
