Example for 80-100%• 1st: 80-100%An outstanding body of work demonstrating a very deep
insight into the problem and presented as such. Written components
will be professionally presented in both layout on the page and logical
structure. They will also be impressively presented in an appropriate style
and will be grammatically of an extremely high standard. Demonstrates an
excellent insight into the technologies employed and uses appropriate
terminology accurately. Implementation components will be extremely well
finished, will represent a very substantial level of technical achievement,
and will more than completely fulfil the functional requirements. The
project as a whole will demonstrate a very strong commitment, and will
have been approached in a very well organised and well motivated
manner. Results and products of the project will be of publishable
research quality and/or of a standard comparable to or better than that
found in the products of industry leaders.
MMP 2012-2013 9
Example for 40-49%• 3rd: 40-49%A body of work which shows some insight into the problem.
Written components will show what progress has been made, and make some
attempt to show which areas have not been understood. Documents may
show a lack of structure, comprehensibility, clarity and grammatical quality.
Documents may also be incomplete in coverage of the work undertaken.
Probably fails to show insight into the technologies used and often fails to use
appropriate terminology. Implementation will represent an identifiable level of
technical achievement but is likely to be incomplete and may omit some
aspects of the core problem. No adequate attempt to tackle more advanced
sections of the work. The project as a whole will have been approached in a
disorganised manner and probably demonstrates a lack of commitment.
Results and products of the project are likely to be poor and/or incomplete and
will be well below publishable quality and of a standard significantly below that
found in the products of industry leaders.
