Is the argument sustained? Failure to put an argument or question not answered Attempt made butsome significant weaknesses exist Competent, logical and consistently argued; some minor weaknesses Good argument, responds to question Solid, nuanced and engaging argument Evidence/ Resources: Are relevant examples used to support arguments? Do conclusions flow from evidence?Very limited research, inappropriate or very limited use of evidence, irrelevant evidence used Limited research, resources not well integrated Reading meets the requirement of this exercise, resources generally well-integrated Wide range of reading,good use of evidence to sustain argument Excellent use of appropriate evidence, engagement with all aspects Structure/ Organisation: Does the argument flow logically and carry throughout? Are paragraphs well written or rambling? Are linking sentences used where needed? Do conclusions flow logically from evidence presented? Is word length as required? No or jumbled structure, poor flow, rambling, incoherent, very disorganised, too short/long Basic structure evident but lacks coherence and clarity Coherent structure, some linkages, signposting, reasonably well constructed paragraphs Intro, linkages, signposting are good, structure is logical, thread of argument throughout Linkages and signposting are excellent, structure aids clarity of argument, logical order, excellent introReferencing: Are there enough references? Is referencing system accurate? Has student plagiarised?Plagiarism, unacceptable level of paraphrasing, too many long/short quotations, Largely inaccurate referencing Basic information provided most of the time, but fairly inconsistent referencing Most information provided, generally consistent, but some errors exist Accurate and consistent referencing with some minor errors, accords with recognised format Accurate and consistent referencing with no errors, accords with recognised format Expression/ Style: Are syntax and grammar correct? Is meaning of expression clear? Sloppy or mangled grammar, expression often unclear Laboured syntax, meaning is comprehensible, but the Foreign Policy Review does not flow and is awkward in several places Sufficiently clear expression, with few errors, meaning is generally clear despite a few awkward sentences Sound expression, complex meanings and concepts communicated clearly Excellent, fluent expression, creative and precise, aids the argument Note:Thesecriteriaarenotnecessarilyweightedequallyindetermininganoverallmark.Significant linguistic weaknesses are, for example, likely to lead to a low grade or a fail, no matter whether a clear effort has been made to sustain a central thesis. Sloppy referencing and poor research are also very likely to lead to a low grade. In general, significant importance is given to the soundness of your argument. 26 9.Course grading Grades will be awarded on the following basis: 1.Fail (FL)0 46% 2.
