Marking Criteria for Research and Planning Research and Planning must be presented in digital format. Where candidates have worked as a group, the research may be presented collectively, but each candidate should give a clear indication of their role in any group research and planning and teachers are asked to differentiate the contributions of individuals within the group in arriving at a mark, justifying individual marks on the assessment sheet. As part of the moderation sample, the moderator will expect to see full evidence of the research and planning informing the construction process in order to support assessment.
