Selection of data goes beyond the mainstream literature/tutorial/textbook. Consistent and accurate referencing used throughout, showing ability to reference a range of source types. Ideas and words of others acknowledged. Evidence of controlled and systematic research. Demonstrates selection of credible, relevant data from quality literature/tutorial notes/textbooks. Mostly accurate referencing demonstrates an ability to reference a variety of source types. Ideas and words of others are acknowledged. Evidence of good research skills. Information is gathered from a good range of electronic and non- electronic sources. Referencing is at times inconsistent or demonstrates ability to reference only some source types accurately Words, but not always the ideas of others are acknowledged. Research conducted demonstrates an attempt to collect credible and/or relevant data. Information is gathered from a limited range of electronic and non- electronic sources. Overuse of another’s words or ideas which may also inconsistently or inaccurately referenced. Limited research skills demonstrated. Poorly selected data. Failure to acknowledge the words and ideas of others. Plagiarised: reads like a “data dump” from other sources. /20 Weighting 10 8-9 6-7 5 <5 grade Format, structure, expression Clear and fluent expression indicates the report has been successfully edited and proofread before submission. Correct form for text type: (headings, indentations etc.); spelling, punctuation error- free. Mastery of sentence patterns demonstrated; may have occasional grammatical errors on the sentence level suggesting that some closer proofreading was needed Form, punctuation, and spelling mostly error free. Clear and fluent expression indicates the report has been successfully edited and proofread before submission. Correct form for text type: (headings, indentations etc.); spelling, punctuation error- free. Sentence patterns most often successfully used; several grammatical errors at the sentence level. Occasional errors in, form, punctuation, and spelling; sometimes distracting. Some additional editing and proofreading is warranted.
