GENERAL CRITERIA HD D C P N Identifying and meeting assignment objectives All major and minor objectives are clearly identified and appropriately prioritized. All major objectives are identified but one or two minor ones are missing and priorities are mostly clearly established. Most major objectives are identified, but priorities are not clearly established. Most major objectives are not clearly identified, nor are priorities clearly established. Major objectives are not identified (or are misconstrued), and priorities are absent. Identifying and using relevant source information All relevant information is obtained and information sources are clearly valid. Recommendations are very well supported by the information. Most relevant information is obtained and most sources are valid. Recommendations are generally supported by the information. Most relevant information is obtained, but mixed with some irrelevant information, though most sources are valid. Recommendations are partially supported by the information. Relevant information is only partially obtained and/or sources lack validity. Recommendations are generally not supported by information collected. Insufficient information is obtained and/or sources lack validity. Recommendations are absent or not supported by information collected. Identifying and analysing relevant constraints All relevant constraints are identified and they are accurately and thoroughly analysed. All relevant constraints are identified, and they are mostly accurately analysed. Most relevant constraints are identified, but some are not adequately addressed or accurately analysed. Some constraints are identified but they are not all relevant and/or not accurately analysed. Few or no constraints are identified or if some constraints are identified they are either not relevant, not analysed, or analysed incorrectly. Generating conclusions from understanding of relevant factors Recommended conclusion is based on clearly stated criteria, thorough and accurate analysis and clear understanding of all relevant factors. Recommended conclusion is mostly based on stated criteria, accurate analysis and clear understanding of all relevant factors. Recommended conclusion is reasonable; however further analysis of some of the alternatives or relevant factors may have led to different recommendation. Recommended conclusion is generated with little analysis, and other solutions are either ignored or incompletely analysed. Relevant factors are incompletely addressed. Either no conclusion is recommended, or recommended conclusion is provided with no analysis/other solutions ignored or not analysed. Relevant factors misunderstood or largely ignored.

Grammatical and/or spelling errors make it difficult for the reader to interpret the text in places. Letter is incomplete or lacks overall organisation. Reader has to make considerable effort to understand the underlying logic. Grammatical and spelling errors make it difficult for the reader to interpret the text. GRADE .
